Changes to New Year's Eve Party
With rain in the forecast, we won't be able to light luminaries on the hiking and snowshoe trails, but the New Year's Eve party at the Lebanon Hills Visitor Center set for Dec. 31 will go on—now for free.
All pre-registered guests will receive a full refund. There will be no cost at the door.

Instead of snowshoeing or ice skating, bring your sleds for a sliding party on a lit hill, enjoy a children's storyteller in the Visitor Center and cuddle up with s'mores around the campfire—all from 5-8 p.m. There will be no live music or live animals from Dakota Wild Animals, but the New Year's Eve ball will still drop at 7:59 p.m.
Hot beverages and lemonade will be available to purchase.
