Christmas Cruise

Riverboat Christmas Light Tour, Provo, Utah, Provo River

Riverboat Christmas Light Ride

Enjoy a lighted riverboat ride on the lower Provo River. There are thousands of lights reflecting off the water, holiday scenes along the shore, and Christmas music on the boat. Santa even comes to visit on his canoe. Last year close to 2,000 people enjoyed CLAS Christmas Cruise during the month of December.

Two professional excursion boats accommodate 40 people per ride. Since the boats are uncovered, blankets and warm clothes are strongly encouraged. The ride is a round-trip experience that takes 25 minutes, with departures every 30 minutes, on the hour and half-hour.

Nightmare Mansion Auditions

Haunted House

The owners of Castle of Chaos and the new Nightmare Mansion are looking for the biggest, the tallest, and the scariest people to work as actors to frighten audiences at their two haunted houses. The company is holding three auditions in August and September and hopes to hire 100 part-time, seasonal employees to work during the big haunting season. The company is also looking for volunteers.

“Scaring people is a dream job for many,” says James Bernard, Castle of Chaos and Nightmare Mansion owner. “We are actually going to pay people to come out and put their most socially unacceptable skills to work. Volunteers will receive incentives like t-shirts, tickets, and hats.”

    Sleigh Bells ‘n Whistles

    Train Ride, Sleigh Ride and a Cowboy, Poet, Heber Utah, Heber Creeper, Provo Canyon, Winter Activities

    Experience Heber Valley’s winter wonderland as you travel over the river and through the fields…first by train, then by sleigh! Along the way, you’ll stop for a journey by horse drawn sleighs or wagons (dependent on snow conditions) through the beautiful country setting, to a ranch shelter. There, you’ll delight to tales told by an authentic cowboy poet and enjoy sweet treats and hot beverages around the old-time pot-bellied stove. Then, climb aboard again and return to the Heber Depot.

    The train departs from the Heber Valley Railroad Depot and travels toward Midway for a beautiful view of the Deer Creek Reservoir and Heber Valley. Along the route, you’ll stop for an old-fashioned group sleigh ride through snow-covered fields, then return to the Heber Valley Railroad Depot in the warmth of the train. Fare includes approximately 30-minute, round-trip train ride, group sleigh/wagon ride, refreshments and entertainment.

    Dress warmly for the sleigh ride and make sure to bring your camera…you just might see deer and elk along the way!
    Perfect for all ages, families, friends and groups (can comfortably accommodate up to 60 passengers, larger groups also welcome).
    Advance reservations are required 24-hours in advance. No outside food or beverage is allowed.

    Sphinxes and Sweethearts

    Sphinx

    Need to woo your valentine? Bring a date to BYU’s Museum of Peoples and Cultures (MPC) to experience a night of Egyptian culture and cuisine on Valentine’s Day. The Egyptian-themed date night “Sphinxes and Sweethearts” will begin at 7:00 that evening.

    “We created this date night as a means to educate participants about ancient Egyptian culture in a relaxed, casual setting,” said Anna McKean, promotions manager at the MPC.

    The evening will be filled with competition, prizes, learning, and food. Couples will have the chance to win prizes through three different activities: a mummy-wrapping race, a set of three different games (Pyramid, Egyptian Balderdash, and “Matching of the Gods”), and painting hieroglyphics. Mediterranean refreshments will also be provided for the couples to enjoy.
