Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online ahead of time to lock in your date and time slot, since all reservations are final sale with no refunds.
  • Don't buy tickets for children three and under, because they get in free and those tickets can't be refunded.
  • Dress in layers and wear sturdy boots or sneakers, since the trail is over two-thirds of a mile of gravel outdoors.
  • Carry a valid ID if you plan to order a seasonal cocktail, and leave outside food and drinks at home.
  • On nights with severe weather in the forecast, watch your email, because ticket holders are told if opening is delayed or the evening is canceled.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Santa photos: pre-purchase the Basic Photo Package (one 5x7 and four wallet photos) when you buy tickets online. Upgraded packages are available after your visit.
  • Twinkle Photo Stop takes family, group and solo photos and turns them into prints, puzzles, ornaments, mouse pads and holiday cards on site, for an extra charge.
  • A children's wagon that fits two kids can be rented on site for an extra fee, while supplies last.
  • Groups of 20 or more can contact the group coordinator about a group discount, and holiday parties and group events are now booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should we allow?

Plan on about an hour from start to finish. The trail is yours for the evening, and you can walk it as many times as you like until close.

How do timed tickets work?

You pick a day and a time slot, then check in any time within that hour. If you book the last slot of the night, you must check in by the start of that slot. If you arrive outside your slot, you'll be checked in for the next available one.

Is the trail OK for wheelchairs and strollers?

The trail and the areas around it are compacted gravel. A stroller or wagon is recommended for small children, and you can rent a two-child wagon on site while supplies last.

What food and drinks are there?

Food and refreshment stations along the trail serve hot cocoa, s'mores by the fire and seasonal cocktails. Bring a valid ID if you want an adult drink. Outside food and drinks aren't allowed.

What should we wear?

Dress for a long outdoor walk in whatever weather is forecast for Litchfield. Layers help, and sturdy boots, shoes or sneakers are recommended.
