Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Consider purchasing a Fast Pass for a dedicated entrance and to skip general admission lines, especially during peak weekend times.
- Turn off your headlights while driving through the park to enhance the viewing experience of the light displays.
- Plan your visit on a weekday if possible to avoid longer wait times, as weekends can experience significant traffic delays.
- While pets are allowed in vehicles, ensure they are comfortable and have had a restroom break before entering, as facilities are limited.
- Coordinate with friends to meet off-site if you wish to ride in the same vehicle, as there is no on-site 'park and ride' option.
