Tips & Advice
- Visit on a weekday or a weekday evening if you can, because lines and wait times at the display can get long on weekends.
- Leave the stroller outside or in the car, since strollers are not allowed inside the Visitor & Event Center while the gingerbread is on display.
- Finish any snacks or drinks before you get in line, because no food or drink is allowed inside the gingerbread display.
- Arrive well before closing time, since everyone has to leave the building at closing and the line to get in can take a while.
- If you want to enter your own gingerbread creation, register before the November 11 deadline, because entry is open to anyone.
