Nutcracker at the Castle

Candlelight tours offer guests an especially entrancing way to take a self-guided tour of the Nutcracker display in the evening. The lights of the “castle” are dimmed and the settings are illuminated by the glow of more than 70 Christmas trees. As guests enter, they are handed electric candles to carry as they wander through the glowing rooms.

The large group will be split into two smaller groups. One group will explore the castle for 45 minutes while the other group enjoys an activity (yet to be determined). After 45 minutes, the groups will switch. Please be aware that the activity is for the children. There are couches around the perimeter of the room where parents can sit during the activity.

The Cupcake Cafe will be open, so you are welcome to end the evening with a treat. However, the cost of the treat is not covered by WISE.
