Seasonal guideCurrent status, timing & practical tips

Choose family hours or a late-night plan

A daytime family celebration, ticketed show, restaurant event, and midnight countdown require different timing. Check age limits, the final entry time, and what admission includes.

Plan the trip home before you go

Late-night transit, rideshare pickup areas, road closures, parking exits, and designated-driver plans can affect the evening. Verify current transportation details close to December 31.
