You may have already visited this iconic Wisconsin landmark, but have you seen it dressed up for the holidays? Join us to experience Christmas at the House on the Rock, transformed by the splendor and joy of the holiday season. You'll be greated by more than 6,000 Santas of all sizes and types – large, small, fancy and homespun.

We will be stopping for lunch at Wisconsin Riverside Resort, overlooking the Wisconsin River. We will be served a select menu of 5-6 entrees. You will be sent menu options before the trip. 

Cost is $125 per person and includes bus ride, admission to House on the Rock, lunch and gratuity, and water and snacks for the bus ride. Registration is not refundable. 

Leaving Green Bay: We will meet at UW-Green Bay's main campus early in the morning between 6:30-7 a.m. (exact time will be sent to travelers after registration). In addition to stopping for lunch, we will also have one rest stop along the way. Then, you will have nearly three hours to explore Christmas at House on the Rock. We will then make our return trip, arriving back on campus at approximately 6:30 p.m. after one rest stop.
