Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on popular nights, especially those featuring Santa or fireworks, to avoid longer queues and maximize your viewing time.
- Consider purchasing a season pass if you plan to visit multiple times, as it offers significant savings and unlimited access.
- Tune into local radio stations or check their social media for potential traffic updates or special announcements before heading out.
- Prepare for a full drive-thru experience; this event is not designed for walking, so ensure all passengers remain in the vehicle.
- Bring along some holiday treats or drinks to enjoy during your drive, as the on-site food options may have limited availability or long lines.
