Tips & Advice

  • Pre-register online or at the Conference and Recreation Center before presale closes on December 4, because only leftover time slots are sold on the day.
  • Arrive 30 minutes before your snow-play time slot to allow for parking and the line at the Will Call booth.
  • Know that snow conditions can vary and there are no refunds, so plan your wristband purchase with that in mind.
  • Pack gloves and a change of dry clothes for the kids, since snow play and sledding will leave them wet and cold.
  • Stay into the evening for the Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, which follows Snow Day at the Civic Center.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony follows Snow Day that same evening as a separate event.
  • If any snow-play time slots are left after presale, they're sold on the day inside the Conference and Recreation Center.
