Rides with Gentle Giants are private affairs. This means that the only people in the carriage will be members of your own party, whether that’s you and your sweetheart or up to 12 of your friends and family.

Your journey will begin with a trip through their lovely covered bridge. You’ll then set off on a winding woodland trail through the woods.

They offer both snowy winter sleigh rides and summer carriage rides. No matter the season, you can count on them to pull you around the countryside in some sort of horse-mobile.
