For children of all ages, Family Day has fun and entertainment for everyone - including a visit with Santa. Keep an eye out for Santa's reindeer on the lawn and come inside to warm up with hot chocolate, cookies, and hands-on crafts. Bring your own camera to capture the excitement. All it takes to make eyes sparkle, laughter bubble and imaginations soar!
