Private Horse-Drawn Sleigh Rides
Jester Park, Polk County
Friday, December 2, 2022
Join us when the snow flies and we’ll hitch up one of our draft horse teams to take your group out for a 30 minute Sleigh Ride through Jester Park. Even if there’s no snow, plan for a wagon on wheels instead of a sleigh!
*Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides are great for all ages.
NEED TO KNOW
· Sleigh Rides require a minimum of 6 inches of packed snow as a proper base for the sleigh. Sleigh rides may be substituted for a wagon ride at the discretion of JPEC and the sleigh/wagon drivers who will assess the footing daily.
· Sleigh Rides are approx. 30 minutes through the trails of Jester Park and are weather dependent.
· Sleigh Rides are scheduled every 45 minutes between 10 am and 3pm. Please arrive 15 minutes early for your ride.

What if There is No Snow?
In the event that your reservation date ends up with little to no snow, we have an alternative option for your group.
If the footing is safe to take out a wagon, you will be offered a Wagon Ride as a substitution the day of your reservation.
In the event we are unable to take your group out on a sleigh ride OR wagon ride (ie: icy footing, wind chill 0°, etc.), you will be offered an opportunity to rebook your ride OR a full refund.
