Breakfast with Santa

Your family can start the holiday season with a festive breakfast in the beautifully restored Clausing Barn, an octagonal structure dating back to 1897. The morning includes a full buffet with French toast, waffles, eggs, bacon, and pastries, followed by a meet-and-greet with Santa and a take-home gift for every child. You'll have plenty of photo opportunities in this charming historic setting before moving on to explore more of what the grounds have to offer. Your breakfast ticket includes full access to Home for the Holidays, Old World Wisconsin's winter celebration. Kids can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides, ornament-making workshops, and encounters with Victorian Santa and even Krampus. The 60-acre site features an authentically reconstructed 1800s village with bonfires and local artisan shopping. Pricing ranges from $5 for children under 5 to $52 for adults and teens, with discounts for seniors and Society members. Advance registration is required. Note that the grounds are hilly with gravel roads, so wear sturdy shoes and layers. Some historic buildings have limited accessibility—call 262-594-6301 with questions about mobility needs.
