Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early to experience all the activities, especially the holiday market and bounce house, as they may have limited capacity or time slots.
  • Dress warmly in layers, as the event takes place outdoors in December, and bring comfortable shoes for walking the garden paths.
  • Consider purchasing a Family Pass if you have a group of four or more to maximize savings, but be aware that additional passes are needed for larger groups.
  • Check the weather forecast before you go and dress accordingly; while there are lights and cocoa, much of the experience is outdoors.
  • Bring your camera for the photo booth and to capture the beautiful light displays throughout the garden.
