Silver doller city’s old time christmas is something for the whole family. They have a wonderful parade at dark, and a huge christmas tree. There is something here for everyone.
Every year my family goes to Silver Dollar City’s Old Time Christmas and we all have a great time. The lights are amazing and so is the food but our favorite part is the train ride. Grandpa tells the story of baby Jesus and throughout the story there are illustrations that light up. It is a great way to refresh your memory of what Christmas is really about and a great way to bond with your family.
