3. Leavenworth Summer Theater

Reviewed By edspecial2017 - Federal Way, United States
Gilbert & Sullivans Pirates of Penzance has long been one of my favorites, This summer theater production on the Ski Hill was one of the best presentations I’ve ever seen. The costumes were delightful, and the sense of fun (almost slapstick) and the very clever choreography had the audience totally engaged. The woman who sang Mabel had an excellent voice and wonderful comedic timing. Go if you can!
4. Mountain Springs Lodge Sleigh Rides
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 253 reviews
Just like the good old days only better. A two horse sleigh, clean crisp winter air, the crunch of fresh snow, open meadows, snow covered trees, and the babbling waters of Beaver Creek, sleigh bells and the carol of your choice. Enjoy a hot spiced cider by the open fire. End your horse drawn sleigh ride with a sizzling steak dinner at Beaver Creek Lodge in front of the rock fireplace.

My husband and I had so much fun on our wagon ride learning about the history of the land from our tour guide. We ended the ride with the best apple cider by a cozy fire. We will definitely be visiting again!

Make reservations on their website. We got there about 25 minutes early to check in and there were good photo opportunities. After checking in, you can feed the chickens and turkeys, have a refreshment that is provided (cookies and coca), take pictures in/around the barn. When it is your time to go, everyone meets by the fire pit for a lesson on reindeer. After that, your group goes into the pen area with the reindeer. You are given food and the reindeer come up and eat. After that they help you get a picture with one reindeer. Absolutely fantastic time!
