Ottawa’s Saunders Farm to Tranform into a Holiday Wonderland with a New Light Festival

This holiday season, visit Saunders Farm with the whole family to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

Saunders Farm

The 180-year-old farm will transform into a holiday wonderland with twinkling lights and sparkling ornaments starting November 26th.

There will be two ways to enjoy the holiday season in Ottawa at Saunders Farm – a daytime Country Christmas experience and Holiday Light Festival at night.

The outdoor Country Christmas experience will run from November 26th to December 18th.  There are so many exciting activities for the entire family:

  • Meet Santa in his magical sleigh before he sets out to deliver presents across the World. The elves will also be at the farm busy helping Santa. You can also take pictures with the elves and Santa.
  • Go on an exciting wagon ride around this winter wonderland or explore their snow-covered mazes. There are 5 mazes: Mile Maze, Spiral Maze, Musical Maze, and Cedar Maze.
  • Climb the maze observation tower and admire the glistening, snow-covered farm from above, or Zipline your way across the farm on their 600 ft Zipline.
  • Visit the Miniature Village and the Town Square which have been beautifully decorated for the holidays.
  • There are tons of photo displays around the farm. They even have a large gift wall as well as other beautiful displays.
  • The farm has several play structures for kids and an arcade where they can play games.

When night falls, the farm will transform into a stunning, sparkling wonderland and you can walk along the trail guided by the light of thousands of shimmering Christmas lights. The Holiday Light Festival will run from December 1st to 23rd. The show takes place every hour for half hour.

Both events will have options for the whole family to enjoy the ambience while warming around the bonfire pits. 

The CiderHouse Taproom will be serving Saunders cider, craft beer, hot drinks, wood-fired pizza, beavertails, as well as other delicious seasonal meals.

You can buy a pre-cut tree and hand-made wreaths from the tree lot. They also sell ornaments, wooden deer fixtures, and porch bundles. All the boughs and trees are made of balsam fir.

You can also buy presents for your loved ones at the Saunders Farm Shop which sells locally-made candles, books, treats, stockings and much more.

Tickets for the Holiday Light Festival or Country Christmas start at $20 online.

Saunders Farm is located at 7893 Bleeks Road, Munster, ON K0A 3P0.
