Just in time for the holidays, the Clifton Recreation Department will present a wonderful family adventure at the Clifton Candyland event. Put on your hat, mittens and scarf and enjoy the continuous activities running throughout the evening.  Have the time of your life as you take a ride on the Santa Express Train, fly and bounce at the Reindeer Flight School,  use your night vision to find candy canes at the Flashlight Candy Cane Hunt, play interactive games in the Candy Cane Play Station, DIY holiday crafts, warm up by the fire pits, enjoy a hot chocolate and cookies at the Santa Snack Shack (other food items will be available for purchase), write a letter to Santa, and of course enjoy a visit with SANTA CLAUS in person (don't forget your camera to take Santa photos).

Register online or at the Recreation Office, 900 Clifton Ave. City Hall 2nd floor.  The pre-registration/discounted cost is $8.00 per person, both parents and children ages 3 & up are required to pay, and includes all of the activities.  Children can't go into event areas without parental supervision.  Participants must pick up wristbands at the registration tent on the night of the event upon arrival. The event will be held if snow or rain is in the forecast & may be re-structured into a drive-through event with altered activities.
