Tips & Advice

  • Come during opening week, November 13 to 19, when tickets are at their lowest price of the season.
  • Don't plan a Sunday visit, because the park is closed every Sunday, including the busy weekends before Christmas.
  • Visit by December 23 if photos with Santa are a must, since that's his last night at the park.
  • Look at the winter season pass, or the combined fall and winter pass, if your family plans to come back more than once.
