There is a stupendous Christmas tree farm in Woodstock, Illinois that offers much more than just trees. Winter activities abound at this magical farm! But while picking out (or cutting) your own tree is a tradition in itself, the best thing to do here at Christmastime is to take a wagon ride through all the trees.

Editor's Note: At this time, it is unclear whether sleigh rides are still taking place at this Christmas tree farm. However, Oney's Tree Farm remains a great place to visit in Illinois during the holiday season!  

Situated in the very northwest corner of Illinois in Woodstock, Oney's Tree Farm sits on 200 acres and offers U-cut pine trees as well as shrubs and perennials.

Here, guests can cut their own trees or buy pre-cut ones.

Your choice!

These Illinois Christmas trees are all top-notch and grown with love, so feel free to ask if you're not sure which variety would suit your home best!

But that's not all you'll find here. Starting in mid-November, mighty Perscheron horses pull wagons through this Christmas tree farm for the most nostalgic winter experience of the season.
