Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive about 30 minutes before the end of your chosen time slot to maximize your enjoyment of the light show and observation lot.
- Consider attending on a Monday through Thursday for a less crowded experience, as weekends and holidays are typically busiest.
- While tickets are non-refundable, they are fully transferable, so if your plans change, you can easily give them to someone else.
- If you have a larger group or a vehicle that might be considered 'large', check the dimensions (under 30 feet long and 10.5 feet tall) to ensure it fits the drive-thru course.
- Bring your well-behaved dog along for the ride; they are welcome to join you in your vehicle during the drive-thru experience.
