Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online so you can use the dedicated Hall D entrance for faster entry instead of waiting at the Hall E box office.
  • Come during the last two hours of the day if you want to avoid crowds, since that's when crowds tend to slow down.
  • Ask for a hand stamp in the lobby before you step out, because you need one to get back in the same day.
  • Dress in layers you can carry easily, because there is no coat or package check at this event.
  • Arrive well before closing if you plan to buy tickets at the door, since box office sales stop one hour before the show ends.

  • Kids 12 and under get in free.
  • Bundle & Save: two tickets plus parking at a bundle price. The bundle is day-specific and quantities are limited.
  • Free parking on Friday from late afternoon onward.
  • Find the hidden show elf and turn it in at Your Home Improvement Co. in booth #1421 for a chance to win a Visa gift card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get food at the market?

Yes. Concession stands serve full meals, hot and cold, plus snacks. Outside food and drinks are not allowed.

Where can I sit down and take a break?

The Yuletide Lounge has tables. There are also picnic tables along the Main Aisle, tables in front of the concessions in Hall D, and more tables in the connector hall between Halls E and D.

Which entrance should I use?

If you bought tickets online, use the dedicated entrance at Hall D for faster entry. If you need to buy tickets on site, go to the box office entrance at Hall E. QR codes at the venue also let you buy digitally and skip the box office line.

Can I leave and come back?

For same-day re-entry, get a hand stamp in the show lobby before you leave the building. A ticket is good for one day. To come back the next day, visit the show office in the Hall E lobby.

Can I dress up as Santa?

No. Guests are asked not to come dressed as Santa or any other holiday character.
