KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

WHAT DOES WINTER WONDERLIGHTS COST?
There is no admission required to attend Winter Wonderlights. Thanks to our generous sponsors, Winter Wonderlights is a FREE event. Visitors have the option to donate to Kissmas Wishes in lieu of an admission fee, should they choose. On Winter Wonderlights Live nights, vendors will have goods available for purchase.  

WHEN IS WINTER WONDERLIGHTS?
Winter Wonderlights runs from November 18-January 1, 2024
Winter Wonderlights Live Nights are November 18, December 2 & 16. The nightly light show spectacular runs from 5-9pm each evening. Winter Wonderlights Live Night programming runs from 4:30pm-8:00pm on Live Nights. 

WHERE IS WINTER WONDERLIGHTS?
Winter Wonderlights is held at Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra.
5995 Sky Pond Drive, Loveland, CO 80538

WHERE SHOULD I PARK?
The best place to park is just east of Macy’s in the Promenade Shops at Centerra. Or park near the plaza at the Promenade Shops to have some fun, shop and grab a snack before you walk over to see the lights. Handicap accessible parking is located at the north end of the park, except for Winter Wonderlights Live Nights, where the parking lot is blocked for safety purposes. On live nights, handicap accessible entry is available directly across from Macy’s.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Chapungu Sculpture Park has paved walking paths with grassy open spaces. Closed-toe shoes are recommended. With Colorado’s ever-changing weather conditions, one should use their own judgement regarding what to wear, depending upon the forecast. Most nights, it is a good idea to bundle up in a light coat, winter hat and gloves. 

WHAT IS THE KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN REGULAR WINTER WONDERLIGHTS NIGHTS AND WINTER WONDERLIGHTS LIVE NIGHTS?
On regular Winter Wonderlights nights, the musical light show runs on the half-hour from 5-9pm. On Winter Wonderlights Live nights, there are special live performances beginning at 4:30pm and concluding at 8:00pm. 
For regular Winter Wonderlights nights, there are no vendors, live reindeer or live performers but there are far less crowds, leading to a more individualized experience. Both Winter Wonderlights and Winter Wonderlights Live nights have numerous selfie stations, photo-op spots and a spectacular musical light show.

ARE THERE VENDORS ON REGULAR WINTER WONDERLIGHTS NIGHTS?
No. There are only vendors on-site for Winter Wonderlights Live Nights (November 18, December 2 & 16); however, due to the close proximity to the Promenade Shops at Centerra, it is easy to grab a warm drink and a snack from local restaurant or coffee shop before you walk the park to see the nightly light show. If you prefer a drive-through, there are several drive through coffee options within a mile of Chapungu Sculpture Park, but most take advantage of the great options at the Promenade Shops. Mary’s Mountain Cookies and Starbucks both have hot cocoa and other seasonal goodies. 

ARE DOGS ALLOWED?
Yes. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are always welcome at Chapungu Sculpture Park. Pets must be attended to at all times and any and all messes must be cleaned up. On Winter Wonderlights Live Nights, dogs must be kept at least 25 feet from the reindeer enclosure on the great lawn. 

ARE THERE RESTROOMS ON SITE?
Yes. There are handicap-accessible portable toilets at the northwest end of the park near the giant snowflake arch in the handicap parking lot. Alternatively, there are public restrooms at various locations in the Promenade Shops at Centerra.
