For families with young children or those who prefer a more relaxed and spacious experience, we recommend visiting on Sunday through Thursday evenings. These days typically see lighter crowds, allowing for more time to explore and enjoy the event at your own pace.
If you’re planning to visit during Friday or Saturday evenings, please note that is when the event is at its busiest. Arriving later during these nights can help avoid the largest crowds and wait times for attractions.
Peak Times each Night are from 6 PM to 7 PM.
The concourse at Coca-Cola Park is wheelchair accessible. However, the field access – which includes the Santa’s Polar Express and Igloos features – is not accessible, unfortunately. The entire Illumination event including all lights are visible from the ballpark’s 360-degree concourse.
