Reviews from previous years
Since I am a huge lover of baby goats, my boyfriend and I decided to go and have our picture taken with Santa and the baby goats. This was a fun adventure even though it was pouring rain. We live in Lancaster County so it was not far from us. The event was well organized and the staff was very friendly. We will be back again in the spring
I have lived in Lancaster all my life and never visited this place until I saw the Santa and Goats pop up on Facebook. I went with my husband, brother, 5 yr old son, and 4 and 2-year-old nieces. The kids had a blast looking for the scavenger hunt clues and checking out the animals. The goats in their little costumes were adorable. The sleigh was set up beautifully. They gave out candy canes to the kids. It was super well put together, the staff was amazingly friendly. This event is going on my Christmas tradition list. So fun!
