Park. Settle in.
Let the lights begin.

At FairGlow, park and board in the shared south Glow Walk lot. Your carriage uses west-lane priority entry, follows the full updated light display and exits beside the same lot, where staff direct unloading. The complete ride is about one mile.

Before your Christmas night

A few good
things to know.

All your questions
Is display admission included?

Yes. Your private carriage reservation includes admission for the carriage ride through the light display, plus express-lane entry. A separate visit in your own vehicle is a separate admission.

Do we share the carriage?

No. You reserve the whole carriage for your group. FairGlow’s published seating and lap-child limits apply to every person riding. Lincoln Park Lights will publish its own limits before opening.

Can we book now?

FairGlow reservations are open. Choose your night and party details to see available departures. Lincoln Park Lights is planned for a later opening.

What about weather or changed plans?

Light rain may allow rides, subject to the operator’s assessment. Ice or storms may force cancellation when Rose cannot safely operate. Review the published rescheduling, refund and optional-protection terms before payment.
