Snowcat Ridge Snow Park in Dade City

Snowcat Ridge's popular Santa's Christmas Lane returns this year! This holiday section, open through December 24, features a magical mix of holiday attractions. Visit Santa's Cozy Cabin for a meet-and-greet and photo session with Santa himself; Storytime with Mrs. Claus to hear a story with the North Pole's favorite lady; Peppermint Play Zone, a candy-themed play area; and Santa's Gift Shoppe for holiday gifts.

A pair of magic-carpet-style lifts transport riders to the top of Snowcat Ridge's 60-foot-tall, 400-foot-long Snowy Slopes tubing hill. Riders can choose single, tandem, or 10-person tubes. Families enjoy a nightly music and light show, visible throughout the snow park.

In the Arctic Igloo attraction, small guests can enjoy a child-sized bunny slope hill and families can build snowmen or snow castles out of real snow! Make sure to dress warm as this "arctic" section of the park is cold!

The Alpine Village features a variety of vendors offering food and beverages as well as a holiday market. Guests can roast s’mores around a campfire, enjoy the light and music show, and socialize and dine under the wintry weather. Kids can participate in a captivating scavenger hunt that challenges explorers to discover hidden gems, solve clues, and claim a prize upon completion.

Crystal Ribbon features an outdoor ice skating ribbon and beginners' oval rink, where guests can bring their own ice skates or rent them online or at the venue. 

Eskimo Outpost features three private, festively-decorated igloos available to rent for parties or get-togethers. Each igloo has capacity for up to 25 guests.
