Tips & Advice

  • Book your ticket in advance, as this popular workshop often sells out. One ticket covers one gingerbread house, so consider purchasing multiple if each family member wants their own.
  • Arrive a few minutes early to secure a good spot on the Dana Lawn and enjoy the ocean views before the decorating begins.
  • While the house is provided, feel free to bring a small, non-messy personal item to add a unique touch to your creation, if permitted.
  • This is a fantastic opportunity for photos, so bring your camera to capture the fun and the beautifully decorated houses.
  • Check the weather forecast and dress in comfortable, casual attire suitable for an outdoor event, as the Dana Lawn is an open-air venue.
