Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Purchase tickets online in advance to save $10 per admission and potentially use a dedicated ticket lane for quicker entry.
- Consider visiting on weekdays or earlier in the season to avoid the largest crowds, especially during peak weekend evenings.
- Dress warmly and in layers, as you may be exiting your vehicle in the Christmas Village, and fire pits can only do so much.
- Check the event calendar for specific dates when the 'Winter Wonderland' experience is open, as it's not available every night.
- If visiting with young children, note that the drive-thru portion is ideal for keeping them warm and comfortable, while the village offers more interactive fun.
