Getting to Flamingo Gardens Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland FAQs

What can I expect?

This is a walk-through holiday light experience. Flamingo Gardens is a 99-year-old attraction with some rustic paths, and the event is hosted on approximately 10 acres. Please stay on the lit pathways to enjoy the full experience. Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs for the musical performances on the Wray Lawn. Concessions and holiday treats will be available for purchase; no outside food or drink is allowed.

How long does it take?

This is a walk-through holiday light event, but there is so much more! Plan for 90 minutes to 2 hours to experience all that there is to see and do, from Santa’s Village to Storytime with Mrs. Claus, Holiday concerts each night on the Wray Lawn, s’mores roasting, and more! Last entry is at 8:30 pm.

Can I bring my pet?

Pets are not permitted. Because Flamingo Gardens is a wildlife sanctuary with injured birds and animals, only service animals individually trained to provide specific work or tasks for the legally disabled protected by the ADA are allowed entrance. Any other animals that provide only comfort or emotional support for their owners are not permitted, including, but not limited to, companion animals, emotional support animals, and therapy dogs.

Are these timed tickets?

Yes. Please select the time you would like to arrive when purchasing your tickets online. This allows us to manage parking and wait times in the Gift Shop.

Should I purchase tickets online or in person?

Save time and purchase tickets online to minimize your wait!

Where do I park?

Parking for this event is FREE and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking attendants will be on site to direct traffic. We encourage carpooling for the environment! Handicapped parking is limited; if you have the ability to drop off guests with mobility challenges near the entrance before parking, we highly recommend you do so.

Will there be food available?

Yes! The Flamingo Pond Café and the food truck will have quick-service snacks and drinks, holiday treats, and your favorite foods from the grill available for purchase. Hoffman’s Chocolates “Sweet Ride” ice cream truck will be scooping your favorite flavors, and the s’mores station will have s’mores kits available for purchase to roast on-site. Before you leave, visit the Hoffman’s Chocolates Pop-up Shop in the Gift Shop for all your holiday needs.
