We are typically one holiday at a time but this sells out EVERY year. If you’ve previously missed out on the Family New Year’s Eve at Lebanon Hills, now is your chance to grab tickets for the family!
In the past when our kids were young, this was a fun event that we ALL enjoyed. It does sell out though and one year we really wanted to go and missed out because I waited too long.
Of course we can’t control the weather and it has been cancelled in the past for that reason too.
The Family New Year’s Eve event at Lebanon Hills is located in Eagan, is reasonably priced and includes lots of activities both indoor and outdoor. The admission is $8 plus tax per person for age 5 and up. Tickets are on sale now for 2025!
This is fun and usually very well organized plus we’ve been impressed by what they offer. Entertainment, fun, education and nature are all at one place. It gets difficult to find a new years event that’s for all ages, but this one is it.
It’s important to note that because it’s a family friendly event, it’s also not a late night event and takes place Wednesday, December 31st, 5-8 p.m.
