Tips & Advice
- Consider purchasing a season pass if you plan to visit multiple times, especially for the ice skating or the Holiday Village, as it can offer significant savings.
- Book your tickets in advance, especially for weekends or special events like Breakfast with Santa, as high demand can lead to sell-outs.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be moving between indoor and outdoor attractions, and the ice rink requires appropriate footwear.
- Arrive early for your chosen time slot, particularly for the drive-through light show, to allow ample time for parking and to fully enjoy all the attractions.
- Check the event schedule for specific times for Santa meet-and-greets, live music, and other scheduled activities within the Holiday Village to maximize your experience.
