The 30-minute sleigh ride at Rocking L Acres is the perfect way to get into the spirit of the season…but it’s not the only way to enjoy winter in Wisconsin. Sleigh rides are a beloved (and undeniably magical) wintertime activity, and luckily, when it comes to sleigh rides in Wisconsin, there are several places in the Badger State where you can partake in the old-fashioned pastime. Read on for a few of our favorites.

  1. Palmquist Farm (Brantwood)

palmquistfarm.com At this 800-acre farm, there’s plenty of space for dashing through the snow! And dash through the snow you will when you embark on a winter sleigh ride tour of the farm. The perfect winter adventure, a team of Belgian draft horses will take you through snow-covered forests and fields. Upon your return, you’ll be treated to your choice of hot apple cider, Russian tea, or hot chocolate. But Palmquist Farm offers more than some of the most magical sleigh rides in Wisconsin. It also boasts lodging, making for one of the most unique getaways in Wisconsin. Palmquist Farm, N5136 River Rd, Brantwood, WI 54513, USA

  1. On Twin Lakes (Birchwood)

On Twin Lakes/Facebook On Twin Lakes may be most known as an event venue; however, it just so happens to offer some of the most scenic sleigh rides in Wisconsin. During the 90-minute ride, you’ll go up and down hills, in and out of 300+ acres of woods, and along lakes and ponds. 2522 28th Ave, Birchwood, WI 54817, USA

  1. Apple Holler (Sturtevant)

Apple Holler/Facebook Apple Holler is one of the best year-round attractions in Wisconsin; however, there’s no denying that a wintertime visit is particularly magical, thanks to scenic sleigh rides. Undeniably picturesque, the sleigh ride at Apple Holler is like stepping inside a snow globe. Not only are the sleighs pulled by beautiful Haflinger horses, but you’ll be treated to a special orchard tour. You’ll even traverse an “enchanted forest,” which is home to charming hardwoods, many of which are over 100 years old. It’s basically a winter wonderland brought to life. Apple Holler, South Sylvania Avenue, Sturtevant, WI, USA

  1. Roden Barnyard Adventures (West Bend)

Roden Barnyard Adventures, LLC/Facebook It’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together…at Roden Barnyard Adventures, where you can listen to sleigh bells ring while a team of Percherons pulls you across hundreds of beautiful wooded acres. Only adding to the magic are the thousands of Christmas lights that illuminate the path. Not surprisingly, this sleigh ride sells out fast, so making reservations ASAP is imperative. Roden Barnyard Adventures, 5545 County Rd Y, West Bend, WI 53095, USA

  1. Brandt’s Sleigh and Wagon Rides (Antigo)

Brandt’s SleighWagon Rides/Facebook As the name implies, this Antigo attraction offers both wagon and sleigh rides, which means you can basically visit year-round. However, there’s no denying that the sleigh rides make Brandt’s Sleigh and Wagon Rides a must-visit during winter in Wisconsin. The 2-hour sleigh ride (yes, you read that right, 2 hours!) takes you around the farm for a one-of-a-kind tour. Brandt’s Sleigh & Wagon Rides, N4643 County Hwy S, Bryant, WI 54418, USA

  1. Starwood Farm (Ringle)
