Check out these fun family events happening the month of December.
1.) Peacock Road Family Farm
This place is as magical as visiting the North Pole! There are still some spots left to purchase for the Santa Experience during the week. This experience is magic for the whole family. The cost is $100 for a train car (ticket is valid for 7 people) or $170 for a group wagon (one ticket is valid for 16 people). Tickets can be purchased here for the train or the wagon. They also have a walk in option for the Candy Cane Express. This runs on a first come first serve basis. Tickets can be purchased in the gift shop. Visit with Santa and Mrs. Clause while drinking some hot chocolate. Stop in at the sugar shack for some delicious treats. Head on over to the gift shop for all your Christmas decorations. A family favorite at Peacock Road Family Farm is the petting zoo. If you are still in need of a Christmas tree, you can grab one here as well! Hours vary for Santa, so be sure to check out their website.
2.) Launch

The best part of living in or near Meridian Township, is access to all of the amazing events and activities they put on.
