Sleigh Rides, S'mores and Breakfast with Santa at Hoffman Estates' Winter Fest
The Hoffman Estates Park District (HE Parks) is hoping for snow on Sat., Dec. 9 when its annual Winter Fest takes place. The free event, held at the district's Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club (BPCCC) runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and features sleigh rides, ice sculptures, crafts, games and s'mores. Winter Fest runs concurrently with Breakfast with Santa, also held at BPCCC.
Admission to Winter Fest is free, as well as visits with Santa. However, there is a fee per person for breakfast. Reservations for breakfast are required for this popular event, which usually sells out. Breakfast seating times run 9 a.m. to noon. To reserve a table, call 847-781-3655. Adults are $19.95; children 5-12 years of age are $10.95 and children age four and under are free.
"Winter Fest and Breakfast with Santa are perfect events for celebrating the season," said Mike Kies, Director of Recreation and Facilities for HE Parks. "Come out and play - snow or no snow." Plenty of activities are planned that do not require snow, so the event will run with or without snow.
BPCCC is located at 1400 Poplar Creek Drive in Hoffman Estates. For more information visit heparks.org or call 847-885-7500.
