Tips & Advice

  • Consider visiting on a weeknight for a less crowded experience and more time to enjoy the dazzling light displays.
  • Book your Santa Express Train or Holiday Wagon ride tickets in advance online, as they are popular and may sell out.
  • Check their Facebook page for exclusive discounts and updates before your visit.
  • Be aware of the flashing lights warning; if sensitive, consider bringing sunglasses or limiting exposure.
  • Allow ample time to explore the 35 acres; the drive-through alone can take a significant amount of time, especially with the added rides.
