Tips & Advice
- Book tickets in advance, especially for Gold or Silver packages, as they offer early release dates and sell out quickly.
- Arrive before dusk to enjoy the outdoor playgrounds and maze in daylight before the Winter Illuminations begin.
- Consider purchasing 'Illuminations tickets' if you are primarily interested in the light trail and playgrounds, as they are a more budget-friendly option.
- Sign up for their newsletter to receive exclusive discounts and early access to ticket sales.
- Dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes, as you will be walking outdoors through illuminated forests and potentially on an ice rink.
