Tips & Advice
- Buy online before November 19 to get Santa Saver pricing on Flex or Dash Passes, which you can use any night this season.
- Bring your pass printed or on your phone, because staff at the gate can't look up lost or missing passes.
- Get a Dash Pass if you'd rather skip the regular line and enter through the separate Dash Pass lane.
- Switch your headlights off, or to dim, as you enter the display, and turn them back on before you leave.
- Consider the new Season Pass if you plan to come back, since a regular vehicle pass covers only one drive through.
Special Events & Promotions
- New for 2026: the Season Pass gives one vehicle unlimited visits all season.
- Santa Saver: Flex and Dash Passes are discounted if you buy online before November 19, and you can use them any time this season.
- Dash Pass upgrade sold at the gate, for skip-the-line entry through a dedicated lane.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Dogs can come along as long as they stay in the vehicle.
Can we get out of the car during the drive?
No. Stay inside your vehicle the whole time for your own safety and everyone else's. You're welcome to take photos from inside the car.
Do I need to turn off my headlights?
Yes. Turn your headlights off for the drive through the display, or dim them if they won't switch off. Turn them back on as you leave.
What is a Dash Pass?
A Dash Pass lets you skip the line and use a separate Dash Pass lane. It's an upgraded vehicle pass, so you don't need a regular pass as well. You can also upgrade at the gate.
Which vehicles count as standard?
Any vehicle with three rows of seats or fewer counts as standard, including SUVs and minivans. Vehicles with more rows need a Limo/Bus pass. Nobody can ride in the back of a pickup truck.
