Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides return to Tivoli Village for the 2026 holiday season, offering evening rides through the outdoor shopping and dining district on select Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from December 3–19. The seasonal experience runs from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and gives families, couples and small groups a chance to see Tivoli Village’s holiday decorations from a horse-drawn carriage.
The rides operate on December 3–5, December 10–12 and December 17–19. Reservations are limited, so visitors planning around a particular evening should book ahead rather than relying on same-day availability.
How Much Are the Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides?
Each carriage ride costs $20 per ride, rather than per passenger. One reservation can accommodate up to five family members, subject to a maximum combined passenger weight of 350 pounds.
Online ticketing may include additional service fees beyond the $20 base ride price.
Carriage Rides Benefit Make-A-Wish Nevada
The 2026 carriage rides also support a local cause. Tivoli Village states that 100% of proceeds from carriage ride ticket sales will be donated to Make-A-Wish Nevada, helping support wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Make-A-Wish is also part of Tivoli Village’s broader holiday programming this season, including the Annual Tree Lighting at Tivoli Village, which includes a special wish-granting celebration.
Pair the Ride With the Nutcracker Night Market
The Thursday carriage dates — December 3, 10 and 17 — coincide with Tivoli Village’s Nutcracker Night Market. Those evenings add holiday vendors, handmade gifts, seasonal entertainment and festive characters around the outdoor village.
Visitors who want more than just the carriage ride may find Thursday evenings especially convenient because the market and carriage rides take place during the same 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM window.
A Family-Friendly Holiday Activity in Summerlin
The carriage rides are suitable for families, couples and small groups, with each reservation accommodating up to five people within the published weight limit. Because the experience is outdoors, guests should dress for December evening temperatures in Summerlin.
Tivoli Village is also hosting several other seasonal events during December. Families visiting earlier in the month can also check out Puppies & Prosecco at Tivoli Village, which combines adoptable pets, Santa photos, live music and holiday activities.
What to Know Before Booking
Reservations are limited, and each booking is for one carriage rather than an individual seat. Groups larger than five people will need more than one reservation, and the maximum combined passenger weight per carriage is 350 pounds.
The rides take place outside throughout Tivoli Village, so weather may affect operations. Visitors should check the official event information before leaving home if rain, strong wind or other unfavorable conditions are expected.
Tickets and Reservations
Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides are available on select Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from December 3 through December 19. The base price is $20 per carriage ride, with proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish Nevada.
