KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

WHAT DOES WINTER WONDERLIGHTS COST?
There is no admission fee required to attend Winter Wonderlights. Thanks to our generous sponsors, Winter Wonderlights is a FREE event and open to the public. Visitors have the option to donate to a featured non-profit in lieu of an admission fee, should they choose. On Winter Wonderlights Live nights, vendors will have food and merchandise available for purchase.  

WHEN IS WINTER WONDERLIGHTS?
Winter Wonderlights runs from November 23 – January 1, 2025. The nightly light show spectacular runs from 5:00PM – 9:00PM each evening. 
Winter Wonderlights Live Nights are November 23, December 13 & 14. Winter Wonderlights Live Night special programming runs from 4:30PM – 8:00PM, with the light show continuing until 9:00PM. 

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, check the forecast before setting out for the park. Most nights, we recommend bringing a coat, winter hat, and gloves. 

WHAT IS THE KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WINTER WONDERLIGHTS LIVE NIGHTS AND EVERY OTHER NIGHT OF THE EVENT?
Winter Wonderlights Live Nights begin at 4:30pm and concluding at 8:00pm and feature ice sculpting demonstrations, live reindeer, vendors and live holiday performances interspersed with the holiday light show. After the Live components end at 8:00PM, the musical light show continues until 9:00PM.

On every other night at Winter Wonderlights, the 1/2 hour-long musical light show runs continuously from 5:00PM – 9:00PM, but there are no vendors or live performances. These nights typically have smaller crowds, and every night features numerous selfie stations, photo-op spots, and our spectacular musical light show.

ARE THERE VENDORS AT WINTER WONDERLIGHTS?
Vendors will only be on-site for Winter Wonderlights on our LIVE nights. However, due to the close proximity to the Promenade Shops at Centerra, it is easy to grab a warm drink and a snack from a nearby restaurant or coffee shop before you walk the park for the nightly light show. Mary’s Mountain Cookies, Paciugo, and Starbucks (inside Barnes & Noble) all sell hot cocoa and other seasonal goodies throughout the season. 

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

ARE THERE RESTROOMS ON SITE?
Yes. There are handicap-accessible portable toilets at the northwest end of Chapungu Sculpture Park in the small Chaupungu parking lot. Alternatively, there are public restrooms inside Macy’s and at the Promenade Shops at Centerra.
