Tips & Advice
- Buy tickets early, because only a limited number are sold and the festival sells out.
- Buy before November 8 to get the two-pass All Access bundle, which costs less than two single passes.
- Get at least one child an All Access Pass if you want a family photo with Santa, even when your youngest is under 2 and free.
- Bring gloves and a change of dry clothes for the snow slides and snowball area, since the festival runs rain or shine with no refunds.
- Parents who are just tagging along can buy the basic event ticket, which covers entry without rides or Santa photos.
