All are invited to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary’s festive Holiday Market on December 7, 2025. Plan your holiday shopping at the Nature Store to find unique, nature-inspired gifts while meeting local vendors. 

We’re also featuring activities for the entire family, including hand-drawn, nature-themed, temporary henna tattoos, guided tours, live music with the Dismal Key Drifters, and special Sanctuary “sleigh rides” in the back country.

Event hours run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with the last admission at 1 p.m.

All activities except the sleigh rides are included in regular admission, which is $17 for adults, $6 for kids 6-14, and free for members and kids under 6. Get tickets here.

“Sleigh rides” require an additional ticket and entail one-hour tours of the Sanctuary backcountry on a “sleigh” pulled behind our truck. Three rides are offered: at 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m. These family adventures invite adults to accompany up to four children each, and space is limited to 10 people per tour. Adult tickets are $25, and child tickets for ages 3 to 17 are $5. Get sleigh ride tickets here.
