Prairie Pines Christmas Tree Farm

Sharing is caring!

Prairie Pines Christmas Tree Farm opens for the season on the day after Thanksgiving in November with holiday fun for families until mid-December.

And the popular dinner theater opens before that, on November 15.

If you want the traditional family experience of going out and finding your tree, they have some beautiful pines growing on the property. Prairie Pines also has pre-cut trees for sale.

But did you know that, besides Christmas trees, Prairie Pines also sells fresh fir garland and tree trimmings in its Christmas shop and has family holiday activities too?

Prairie Pines is a favorite stop for Santa, who will be out to the farm!

Keep reading to see the schedule for all holiday activities out at this terrific farm northwest of Wichita…
