Tips & Advice
- Don't park at Gate B on non-race days, because it's locked at sunset; use Gate 20 or nearby street parking instead.
- Allow about three hours so you have time for every zone and the 45-minute live show with Mrs. Claus and her elves.
- Join the Santa line during your session, because photos can't be pre-booked, and every child still gets a free gift backpack.
- Buy VIP tickets for everyone in your group if you want the perks, because each person needs one to get VIP benefits.
- Budget for Santa or Grinch photos, food, merchandise and carnival games, because none of these are included in any ticket.
Special Events & Promotions
- The Grinch visits for family photos at Grinch Land, for an extra cost.
- VIP tickets add priority access, VIP show seating, a gift bag and a meal voucher.
