Tips & Advice
- Check the 'Happenings' page for special theme nights and events, as some dates are geared towards specific audiences or activities.
- Consider attending on a weekday evening for a potentially less crowded experience, especially if you want more time to enjoy the ice skating.
- Arrive early on weekend days to maximize your time, as popular attractions like Santa's Workshop can have lines.
- Dress in layers, as the event is held indoors but near the ocean, and the ice skating area can be cooler.
- Look for information on the 'Participate' page if you're interested in donating a tree or becoming a sponsor for future events.
