Tips & Advice
- Choose Exchangeable Tickets if weather or illness might change your plans, because they are the only tickets you can change on the day of your visit.
- Buy a food punch card online and pick it up at the Visitor Center entrance to save time and money on cocoa, mini donuts and other treats.
- Reserve a wheelchair or electric scooter ahead if you need one, because only a limited number of wheelchairs are available and golf carts aren't offered.
- Have your camera ready as soon as you arrive, because the Merry Mosaic of 6,500 luminaries and a 120-foot tree is right there.
- Groups of 50 or more get a discount on regular-season admission and can add firepits, food cards or the heated Warming & Gathering tent.
