Tips & Advice

  • Reserve a time slot ahead of time, because walk-ins only get in when there's space and reservations are highly recommended.
  • Choose your child's time slot carefully when you book, because the market can't change your time once it's reserved.
  • Write down everyone your child is shopping for, with their ages, so the volunteers can help your child pick a fitting gift for each person.
  • Book the time slot for your child or children only, because space is limited and the slots are meant for the young shoppers.
  • Spend any leftover tickets in the Boutique afterward, because unused market tickets are non-refundable but can still be used there.

What happens to tickets we don't use?

Unused tickets are non-refundable, but you can use them in the Boutique.
