Activities

We have designed our activities for both children and adults. We firmly believe that this Christmas experience is one that you will all remember and cherish. It is with this in mind that we originally decided upon this type of business enterprise.

 

 
 
Hayrides. Originally designed for the children on week days, we have found that the adults, on weekends, enjoy the ride as much as the children. We have found that many families come back for a second ride after they have purchased their tree.
Feeding the ducks and geese
The children enjoy feeding the ducks and geese, and on our pre-K, K, and lower grades tours, the children bring bread or corn to feed them. The fun is enhanced by our beautiful pond surrounded by tall, majestic pine trees.

The forest.
As we are located in the middle of the Lost Pines, people enjoy gathering pine cones, and cutting yaupon holly for decorations. The clean pine smell is wonderful to enjoy.
The fields
Our two large fields contain over 11,000 Christmas trees. We try our best to make them beautiful by having beautifully manicured trees, and also a lawn-like appearance of the hills and swales that go to make up Loma Alta.

Snack bar
My granddaughter is in charge of the snack bar which is open on weekends. In addition to hot and cold drinks, she will have the famous Elgin sausage and frito pies. Everything tastes so good after a walk in the trees.

Weekday visits
by daycare providers, and over a thousand elementary school children from Central Texas, are one of our busiest times. The children all get hayrides and the story of how we plant and grow our Virginia pines. After the hayrides, they go to our...
Picnic area
to eat lunch. Of course, these picnic areas near our ponds are available to families on weekends. Bring your own picnic lunch and enjoy the peace and solitude of the Lost Pines area.

Photo Opportunity
Hundreds of pictures are taken yearly when children are placed in our sled. The background of Santa, Mrs. Clause, a decorated Christmas tree, and elves, make a photo that is just right for Christmas cards.
