SUMMARY:Farley’s Christmas Wonderland
DESCRIPTION:Farley’s Christmas Wonderland\nFriday\, November 25 – December 31\, 5:30 – 8:30pm’ish \nJoin us at Farley’s Christmas Wonderland. We are a walk-in Christmas display located in the midtown of Santa Cruz\, CA. Our exhibit is very traditional: lots of Christmas trees\, garlands\, sleighs\, an elf village\, miniature village’s\, and a log cabin that Santa uses for his rest stops. Being Irish\, where you have elves you have fairies and we have a fairy grotto with 2 waterfalls and fairies that can be viewed on special nights. Also\, on those special nights\, it snows here. \nUnlike all other Christmas displays where you drive by\, we are a walk-in\, where people will spend time sitting on the bench in the Fairy Garden looking and listening to the waterfall or sitting in the rocking chairs in the log cabin in front of the fireplace. If you bring small kids especially little girls\, do not expect to be leaving soon. When they discover Rivi’s house – you’re not leaving. \nDuring the Christmas holidays a lot of people travel and  where ever they go the one thing all travels want to see are Christmas decorations – they want to see how people in that country celebrate and decorate for Christmas. And every year we get more travelers from all over the world who are visiting the San Francisco Bay Area or the Monterey Bay. \nNote from Santa Cruz Parent: Children and adults alike love to visit Farley’s Winter Wonderland and have done so for years! Mr. Farley welcomes donations to help with the costs of electricity\, repairs\, replacements\, storage and more. This has been a labor of love and has become a fixture in Santa Cruz.  Your help keeping it up is most welcome.  Please Donate.
