Tips & Advice

  • Buy your tickets online rather than on-site, because online tickets cost less and promo codes only work for online purchases.
  • Ticket sales for the 2026 season open October 12, so pick your date early, since rebooking later depends on what's still available.
  • If bad weather is coming, rebook before your ticket date, because the event runs rain or shine and tickets are non-refundable.
  • Buy a souvenir cup with your first hot chocolate, since refills in that cup are discounted for the rest of your visit.
  • Pick up a s'mores kit at Slice n' Ice and head to the fire pits to roast marshmallows between the light displays.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this year: lighted mini golf, a scavenger hunt and a giant maze.
  • Promo codes work online only and aren't valid on every date.
