In the Drive-Through Experience, which takes place December 11, 12, 17 & 18, the route takes you through the Bauernhof courtyard to see some of your favorite animals, Santa and Mrs. Claus, and a 50-foot LED Christmas tree synchronized to holiday music you can hear on your car radio. Plus, drive around the Busch family one, which is decorated in full holiday splendor.
In the Walk-Through Experience, which is offered on select nights through December 30, you'll ride the tram to the Bauernhof and then stroll the grounds, enjoying holiday lights at your leisure.
