Know Before You Go

  • Parking: Parking is free.
  • Accessibility: Three wheelchairs are available to borrow on a first-come, first-served basis during business hours.
  • Pets: Dogs are welcome on a short, non-expandable leash.

Tips & Advice

  • Give the kids the elf scavenger hunt so they can track down each of Santa's elf displays as you wander the Village.
  • If someone in your group needs a wheelchair, pick one up early, because the Village has only three to lend on a first-come basis.
  • Don't park on 7800 South, because Gardner Village has its own free parking lots.
  • Leave outside snacks at home, because outside food isn't allowed in the pavilion or the stores and Archibald's and Happy Camper sell food on site.
