Tips & Advice

  • Register for a snow time slot as soon as registration opens on November 2, because the snow activities have limited spaces and you need a wristband to get in.
  • Pick up your wristband early at Langley Center starting November 30 so you already have it when you arrive at Barnes Park.
  • Make sure everyone wears closed-toed shoes, because they're required in the snow play and sled run areas.
  • Dress warmly, because this is an outdoor event in the evening, and you may be waiting in line for the snow even during your time slot.
  • Plan your hour so you have time for both the Snow Play area and the Sled Run, since one time slot covers both.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Snow activities are free, but registration is required and spaces are limited.
