Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets in advance for your time block, including for children under 2, because everyone needs an advance ticket to get in.
- Dress for the weekend's theme, whether that's matching pajamas, ugly sweaters, holiday characters or Victorian ghosts, to join in the costume fun.
- Dress for the weather, because Yuletide runs rain or shine and the light displays and train village are part of an evening outdoors.
- If you can't make your date, give your ticket to a friend or family member, since sales are final and tickets can't be refunded or exchanged.
- Leave the cooler at home, because Yew Dell does not allow coolers on the grounds at any time.
