Tips & Advice
- Pick a weekday or weekend ticket that matches the night you plan to go, since tickets are tied to that category and aren't refundable.
- Turn off your headlights once you pass the ticket booth to make the light show better for you and the cars around you.
- Pack a jacket, gloves, a toboggan and extra layers, because Santa's Village is mostly outdoors and the event runs rain or shine.
- Swap cash for a Santa Bucks card at the front tent as you enter, since everything inside Santa's Village is card only.
- Check the calendar for savings nights for educators, healthcare workers, first responders, military and veterans before choosing which night you go.
