Winter Wonderland at Howe Ranch
Kalispell, Montana
Step into the magic of Winter Wonderland at Howe Ranch, our beloved signature holiday tradition — now celebrating its 17th year and bringing the wonder to our magical new Montana location.
For one unforgettable holiday outing, the ranch transforms into a cozy, storybook-style winter experience filled with baby Highland cows and other sweet, fluffy animals, twinkling spaces, festive activities, warm treats, and little surprises around every corner.
Your pass includes the full Winter Wonderland experience. Wander through our curated holiday spaces, snuggle, hug, brush, and visit with the Howe Ranch animals, and take as many magical holiday photos as you can fit in. Stop by our private Winter Market for complimentary seasonal treats and hot craft drink stations, make something special while crafting with Mrs. Claus, and keep an eye out for a very special Santa visit.
There is plenty to discover along the way, including holiday arts and crafts, interactive activities, our Winter Wonderland scavenger hunt, and a prize for guests who complete the adventure. Every experience, activity, treat, and animal encounter is included with your pass — no little add-on charges once you arrive.
Plan on approximately 2 hours to explore, play, create, take photos, warm up with something delicious, and simply enjoy being together at the ranch.
This is not a walk-through display. It is a chance to slow down and actually be part of the magic — surrounded by evergreens, tiny fluffy animals, holiday light, our beautiful glacier run off creek, and all the little details that have made Winter Wonderland a Howe Ranch tradition since 2010, with a mountain peak rising behind the ranch and sweeping valley views across the Glacier National Park foothills.
$45 per guest ages 1+
