It’s the most wonderful time of year!

Our Christmastime season can be extra special.  Christmas carols in the air, the possibility of snow on the ground, about a million lights illuminating the park at dusk — a visit will put you in the holiday spirit.

A visit to Santa’s Village is an outdoor experience that takes place in variable weather conditions, regardless of temperatures.  Please plan for variable weather, and dress to spend the day outdoors.

Online tickets are required.

A $1 processing fee is added to each ticket purchased.

Two shows are scheduled to play during the day: one outdoors on Main Street beginning at dusk, the other at various hours in the Polar Theater.  Most of our dining and gift shops are open. The Elfabet Game is even more challenging in the dark.

You Tubing, Poogee Penguin’s Spin Out Coaster, the Ferris Wheel, Midnight Flyer roller coaster, and possibly other rides or attractions may be closed in extremely cold and/or icy/wet weather.

What should we wear?

A visit to Santa’s Village is an outdoor experience that takes place in variable weather conditions, regardless of temperatures.  We recommend dressing comfortably for a day outdoors at an amusement park, and planning for variable weather conditions.

During our Christmastime season you should dress as if you were traveling to the North Pole.  We recommend dressing in layers as temperatures can vary throughout the day.  We also highly recommend wearing winter jackets, ski pants, boots, hats, and gloves/mittens to fully enjoy your visit.

Warm shoes/boots with non-slip rubber soles are recommended; footing and traction can change around the park and in/on its features.

What if the forecast calls for rain, snow, or cold weather on my selected visit date?

Please purchase tickets only if you are committed to visiting on the selected date, regardless of changing weather forecasts or actual weather.  We do not provide refunds or date exchanges for weather.

The park operates rain, snow, or shine.  We aim to deliver Pure Joy, Family Style, even when wet or cold.  Certain rides and attractions may possibly close temporarily when there is thunder or lightning in the area, or a brief driving downpour, or if snow or ice cause complications.

Weather forecasts are sometimes right, sometimes wrong, and often change. That’s why we’re committed to opening each scheduled operating day regardless of forecasts or actual local weather. (There have been only a couple instances of severe weather at the park forcing a last-minute cancellation during our 70 years of operations.)

Can I use my 2024 'Tis the Season SUMMERTIME Pass during Christmastime?

No, the 2024 ‘Tis the Season SUMMERTIME Pass is not valid for admission during the 2024 Christmastime schedule.
