  • Select the right vehicle category when booking; tickets cover one vehicle, not each passenger.
  • Keep a printed or electronic ticket receipt ready at the entrance, since lost tickets cannot be looked up.
  • Use running lights to view the displays, and make sure your lights are on when exiting.
  • Keep everyone inside the vehicle and take photos from inside, as stopping to get out is not allowed.

  • A Flex Pass allows one visit on any available date during the season without choosing a date in advance.
  • Every Sunday in Advent has a planned surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will I see on the drive-through route?

The route covers over a mile of illuminated displays, including more than a million LED lights, a large Christmas tree and a multicolored tunnel.

How do tickets work for a vehicle?

Each ticket covers one vehicle and one drive-through experience, not each passenger. Choose the correct vehicle type when booking.

Can I buy tickets at the gate?

On-site tickets are available, but advance purchase is recommended. If online tickets sell out, none will be available at the gate.

Can passengers get out to take photos?

No. Everyone must remain in the vehicle, and photos are allowed only from inside it. Pickup-truck beds cannot be used for passengers.

Can I bring my dog, and are there vehicle restrictions?

Dogs may come along if they remain inside the vehicle. Vehicles must not exceed twelve feet in total height, and traffic laws must be followed.
