What visitors say
We threw our son’s 2nd birthday party here at the Coyote Meadow and what an amazing time we had! The venue was very nice and they provided a huge canopy for shade. Our party was later in the day so for next time I will add an extra…
We took our 3 and 4 yr old grandbabies and we all loved it. Beautiful giant display of Santa was the best. God bless you for this special event weve been coming to for decades.
We did the Holiday Train Ride and it was so nice. 10 min ride... I defenitely recommend priority its worth the couple minute wait versus the very long line otherwise. They have a souvenir shop and a snack shop. My whole family loved it.
