Tips & Advice
- Buy your pass online ahead of time, because advance purchase makes getting in easier and Santa Saver tickets are only sold online.
- Have your pass printed or ready on your phone at the gate, because staff can't look up lost or missing passes.
- If you buy the November-only ticket, make sure you go in November, because it won't be accepted in December.
- Get an Any Day ticket for a Friday through Sunday visit, since Weekday tickets only work Monday through Thursday.
- Anyone riding in a pickup must sit inside the cab, since passengers aren't allowed in the truck bed during the drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, dogs can come along as long as they stay in the vehicle. Pets aren't allowed in the Holiday Village.
Do I need to turn off my headlights?
Yes, switch them off while you drive through the display, or dim them if they won't turn off. Turn them back on as you leave.
Can we get out of the car?
Stay in your vehicle the whole way through, but you can take photos from inside. Nobody may ride in the back of a pickup truck.
What counts as a standard vehicle?
Any vehicle with three rows of seats or fewer counts as standard, including SUVs and minivans. Bigger vehicles need a Limo/Party Bus pass, which allows up to 15 passengers.
What's the difference between Weekday and Any Day tickets?
A Weekday ticket works Monday through Thursday only. An Any Day ticket works on any day of the week. Both are good any time after you buy them, as long as you visit within that time frame. Each pass covers one carload for one drive through.
