Winter Gondolas & Igloos
This year, the driveway, patio and deck surrounding Dock Square’s most historic hotel are being transformed into “Christmas Lane”! There’ll be fun activities, socially distant cocktails and private dining options to make your spirits bright! On the front terrace, enjoy three cozy igloos, firepits, and curling; plus, a trio of custom-built red gondolas on the deck. Delight in a menu of winter-inspired snacks & sweets, cool cocktails, and hot cocoa when you reserve any of the private dining spaces. Or, gather a few close friends and learn the sport of Curling ($25 per hour).
