Historical Holiday Retreat with Babbity Kate (Day Pass Experience)

Join this exclusive private retreat in scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park for a day of Christmas cheer. Join TikTok sensation Babbity Kate, your resident American Girl expert and Christmas fanatic, to make some new Christmas memories. This exclusive private retreat has been curated for adults that love books, history, art, crafts, and nostalgia. Experience a one-of-a-kind event inspired by beloved stories like Little Women, A Christmas Carol, and the American Girl books. Whether you’re a voracious reader, an American Girl fan, or a devoted historical reenactor, every detail of this retreat is focused on bringing warmth, joy, and renewal.
