Both young and old will thrill at live theatrical performances including Knight Before Christmas performances of swordplay and archery, the celebrated, Canadian Majinx illusion show, a live aerialist soaring through the Great Hall ceiling, roaming mime artists and mascots, a wandering and interactive magician, and more. As always, children are invited to visit Santa Claus, Mrs. Santa, and the elves in their castle workshop, while penning letters to the North Pole for their holiday wishes. Christmas at the Castle runs from 9:30am – 4pm (last admission) performances run between 11-3. Tickets are $45.
The lightness of being… with Holiday Lights
Visitors may experience the wonderment of winter in its glory, while wandering outdoors through a dazzling lighting display in the gardens and inside in the famous underground tunnels, adorned for the holidays. Designed as a self-guided walk, guests stroll through the property’s grounds delighting in the decorations, lights and live performances including a magic show, a fire performer, roaming mime artists, mascots and stilt walkers, a trio of Christmas carolers, and Santa and his entourage.
