Cut your own Christmas Tree at The Rocks Estate.

Christmas Tree Farm

We invite you to join us at The Rocks Estate this holiday season to select a perfect tree from our farm. The Rocks has been described as a modern day Norman Rockwell Christmas scene, complete with the jingling bells of our horse-drawn wagon rides and marshmallows roasted to golden at our fire pit.
Guests may shop for gifts in our marketplace or online at www.therocksgiftshop.com.

Harvest Your Own Christmas Tree

The Rocks Estate Christmas Tree FarmRow upon neat row of perfectly shaped and scented fir trees grow in the fields at The Rocks Estate, and visitors may wander the farm in search of their special tree. You may choose and cut your Christmas tree, or have a member of The Rocks staff harvest the tree. As your tree is baled for easy transportation and loaded on your vehicle, enjoy the holiday ambience that permeates the scene at The Rocks - from warm food and hot drinks to Christmas carols and a walk along our Scrapbook Trail.
At The Rocks, we take pride in our holiday offerings:
  • A family atmosphere.
  • Top quality trees.
  • Courteous service - from help cutting and transporting your tree to tying it on your vehicle.
  • Free horse-drawn wagon rides, reserved for package customers until Sunday at 2 p.m.
  • Free tree wrapping.
  • Uniquely designed wreaths.
  • Scenic turn-of-the-century country estate.
  • The knowledge that you are helping to support conservation education in the Granite State.
  • A Christmas Memory Package (LINK) that will create lasting memories and start a great tradition for your family and friends.

Open every day 10 am - 4:30 pm
Sunday Afternoons 2 - 4:00 pm is Locals Day. Discounts on Trees for Local Residents!




Christmastime at Santa's Village


Christmastime is "the most wonderful time of the year" -- especially at Santa's Village.

Santa greets every child, and listens ever so attentively to all the wishes and wants of the season. Mrs. Claus joins in on the hospitality and offers some warm wassail for all their guests. If you visit, be sure to stay 'til after dark when the beautiful lighting throughout the park displays a sense of well-being and warmth on those cooler nights. Dress warmly as it gets snuggly cold on the Skyway Sleigh Monorail or the Merry Christmas Ferris Wheel. Yes, 14 rides are operating and the festivities are all geared to Christmas. Below is a list of rides that will be open (weather permitting):
  • Skyway Sleigh Monorail
  • Antique Cars
  • Santa's Express Train
  • Pixie Mix
  • Christmas Carousel
  • Loopin' Louie's Flying School
  • The Great Humbug Adventure
  • Santa's Smackers (Bumper Cars)
  • Merry Christmas Ferris Wheel
  • The L'il Drummer Boy
  • Himalaya
  • SS Peppermint Twist
  • Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
  • Santa's Chimney Drop
  • The Fire Brigade
  • Rudy's Rapid Transit Coaster (open only if the temperature is 32 or above)
As we celebrate our 59th season, we are very proud of our newer 3-D show entitled "A Tinkerdoodle Christmas." It will leave you laughing at the antics of L. Fastidious Tinkerdoodle as he prepares Santa for his yearly journey on Christmas Eve.
Shops are open too for the Christmas shoppers. A special holiday spirit is in the air. It's truly Christmas...
