Like New York's incredible Polar Express and Christmas trains, actual horse-drawn sleigh rides are a charming attraction that's become harder to find locally as the years go by. If you head up north into the Adirondack Park, you'll see that it's not hard to find our favorite nostalgic attractions still in action and operating for all to enjoy.

Taking you on a loop through the historic John Brown Farm in Lake Placid, you'll fall head over heels for Adirondack Sleigh Rides.
Owned and operated by Plattsburgh's Country Dreams Farm, hop aboard the wooden sleighs and you'll get to enjoy a ride pulled by Belgian Draft horses.

Leaving you with memories that all of your friends and family will appreciate, everyone will keep bundled up during these rides as they stay underneath the thick blankets that are provided to keep them warm.
During the sleigh ride loop, you'll have unbelievable views of the Olympic Ski Jumps and surrounding High Peaks — most noticeably Whiteface Mountain.
And don't worry, there will be plenty of time for everyone to take photos with the beautiful horses and sleigh.
At the historic site, guests will also find a small cabin that they can warm up in afterward as they sip on hot chocolate too.
Taking reservations before you know it, Adirondack Sleigh Rides is expected to be open and operating by the end of December — weather depending.
