Christmas lights, letters to Santa, and…exotic animals? Top Fun Ranch in Anna, Texas, puts a unique spin on one of the most traditional holiday activities, making this festive safari a great addition to your itinerary this year. Check it out:
A festively decorated hayride will take you on a worldwide excursion without leaving the state. Exotic animals from all across the globe add a unique flair to a traditional Christmastime activity.
Leftover pumpkins from the ranch's annual patch are sprinkled throughout the grounds, serving as a perfect transition from fall to winter. Watch some of nature's most majestic creatures frolic amidst the orange specs while lights sparkle around you.
A pit stop at Santa's Workshop offers face painting, ornament decorating, and a mailbox for letters to the big man himself. It's intended for the littlest safari guests, but kids from one to ninety-two are guaranteed a good time.
When night falls, gather 'round the campfire to roast some s'mores. Hot chocolate and cider will also be provided, all while basking in the heartwarming glow of holiday lights.
Christmas movies will be shown in a makeshift lighted "theater," so bring your warmest blanket! Is there anything more Texan than using haystacks for seats?
Other activities include a bounce house, holiday photo-ops, a petting zoo, paddle boats, and trout fishing. Don't miss out on this unique Christmas experience!
