Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on when a guest visits throughout the holiday season, it is certainly possible to experience all of the activities and attractions in the same evening. That said, with so much holiday cheer spread out throughout our 65-acre property, to fully enjoy the festival and not feel rushed, we recommend joining us for two evenings, or booking an overnight stay at the Princess to receive VIP Express Wristbands that cut down wait time for all attractions.
To maximize your experience we recommend arriving to the event as soon as the event opens. This will allow you to embrace all activities with no rush to get everything in. You will need the full night to not miss any of the fun!
Access to all event venues is available. See bell staff upon arrival for tips and directions to maximize your event experience. Rides and attractions may have some limitations to help protect the health of those with disabilities.
Guests will be responsible for additional purchases of food, beverage, holiday décor and retail. Ice Passes, Photos with Santa, Aurora Ice Lounge + Chill, and VIP fire table and igloo rentals all incur additional charges.
Early in the holiday season and weekdays throughout the festival tend to be lighter in attendance. Be sure to check the Christmas at the Princess calendar for all the special events to make your visit even more special! On peak nights, allow an extra 20-30 minutes in travel time.
