Drysdale’s Farm & Scanlon Creek Adventure
Kick off the holiday season with a cozy mix of forest trails and festive traditions. We’ll start the day with a hike at Scanlon Creek Conservation Area, a beautiful nature reserve near Bradford with peaceful trails, wooden boardwalks, and sweeping wetland views. Join our guide for a group walk or take your own pace through the late fall landscape. Afterwards we'll head out for an afternoon at Drysdale's Farm Christmas and Holiday Village a classic family-run farm where the scent of fresh evergreens fills the air. Wander through twinkling displays, sip hot chocolate, and—if you’d like—cut your own Christmas tree to bring back to Toronto on the coach bus. It’s a true holiday tradition without the hassle of driving.
ActiveDays trips are about creating your own connection with the outdoors—come solo or with friends, share stories, and soak in the season’s simple joys.
