More infoFestive Village charges nothing at the gate and $2.86 plus tax for the carousel, so in ten lit acres of heritage village, the only thing you pay for is going in a circle. That changes the maths of the whole outing. The carol singers, roving entertainers, demonstrations, scavenger hunt and Father Christmas are all on the house, so the big decision is how many times you'll pay to end up exactly where you started. Walk the village first and save the carousel for last. Facing forward side by side, you both get to pretend you're winning. Entry can be limited when it's busy, so arrive early or go on a weekday, and take transit, since parking is limited. Mai's Cafe and the food trucks are extra. Two rides each comes to $11.44 before tax, which will be the most carefully debated spend of your December.
Arrive early or pick a weekday, since entry can be limited when the site is busy, and take transit because parking is limited. Walk the village first: carol singers, roving entertainers, the scavenger hunt, Father Christmas. Finish on the carousel at $2.86 plus tax a ride, and agree on the number of rides before anyone gets sentimental.
The City invites families to Festive Village: the 10-acre heritage village is lit for the season, with carol singers and roving entertainers, a scavenger hunt, Father Christmas to meet and the heritage carousel running at $2.86 a ride.
Free gate admission for everyone; carousel rides $2.86 plus tax each. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing. Entry may be limited at busy times, so the museum suggests arriving early or visiting on weekdays. Parking is limited; carpool or take transit.
