Our Second Year at Sam's Christmas Village

Christmas is just a magical time of year- and kids make it even more special and memorable! Sam's Christmas Village does a great job giving families an opportunity to create beautiful memories to last a lifetime.

With our baby now being 1 years old, she had even more fun exploring the terrain and giving lots of oos and ahhs to all of the lights. This particular venue is really great for a young age for multiple reasons including; a short drive from the metro (only 20 minutes if you're on the east side!), the venue is large however the layout is set up really well to not feel overwhelmed with a long walk with a little one, there are plenty of places to stop to warm up including a large warming building with food, drink, and shopping, and also a bar with a full menu and tons of seating to warm up and relax! The layout is probably my favorite part (as a parent). The hot chocolate was delcious according to my husband and I enjoyed a hot cider.

The displays are fantastic, so many different types and kinds including walk through displays, dancing lights, a thank you to our veterans, and exceptional photo opportunities. Santa is always there and happy to take pictures! Our daughter wasn't so sure of him this year but she did ok!

Open (usually) from after Thanksgiving until New Years. Check their website or social media for cancellations due to bad weather. Parking is really easy to get in and out without issue. We brough a B.O.B. stroller, I recommend an all terrain type stroller or wagon.

Overall, the experience as a whole is really seamless and fun for families and all ages. Definitely recommend!
