December, 2022: Celebrate the best of family holiday traditions at The Castle of Muskogee! Take a leisurely drive through the Castleton Village, which is filled with thousands of holiday lights and displays. The drive through is FREE, and donations are gratefully accepted. Guests may also view the lights from an old-fashioned hayride or from the rail car of the festive Castle Train, both of which provide visitors with a unique experience through the Castle displays. Also in the Village area, the little ones may ride the cutest holiday ponies in town! For a taller vantage point, Cletus the Camel will be here to provide rides around the Village area. Just want to hang out and snap photos? Grab a bag of Kettle Corn and enjoy the festive environment of the Castle gates before you head inside.
Once inside The Castle, guests may warm up and enjoy a variety of family holiday activities: Crafting ornaments in Santa’s workshop, Wax Hands and Make Your Own Candle, Stuff it Up – Plush Adoptions ... and so much more! Discover handmade creations for the special people on your holiday list. We encourage guests to visit the Christmas Shoppe for home holiday displays or holiday keepsakes. Join us in Rudolph’s Cafe for a light supper or snack, hot chocolate and treats!
Many will tour the lights for the love of holiday joy. The Castle also offers a not so traditional holiday treat. In addition to the Castle’s holiday Catacombs and Torture Chamber Museum, guests may venture through the Sandy Claws Haunt. This is for our fans of thrill that would like to continue the chills throughout this holiday season! Visit http://okcastle.com for a complete schedule of nightly activities.
