We do not provide wheelchairs. There are paved walkways throughout the park with benches in various locations. Both restroom facilities are ADA accessible. Two small paved parking lots located on Old County Rd have ADA accessible but can be crowded. The larger parking lot located on North Bank Rd offers the best ADA parking.

Those with special needs should contact us via email for arrangements, ie.) large groups or transit van access.Signs are displayed on Hwy 101 showing the way to the large parking lot. 

Extreme weather is always an issue on the coast during December. Storms  can impact our opening for a night or force us to close early.  We follow  weather.com for the Brookings Harbor area (zip code 97415). We post on  our Facebook page by 3pm if we know the weather will not permit an  opening. If the  weather turns for the worse after we open, we will close  early and  again post on Facebook. We suggest you plan your visits  accordingly.   

Santa and Mrs. Claus visit each year. Check  our home page or Facebook for more information. Please bring your own cameras for photos. Please follow Facebook for up to the minute information.

Hot Cocoa, Hot Cider and cookies are available at the Snack Shack. Donations are always appreciated. Our entry fee is $3.00 for adults and kids under 12 are free! Children under 16 must be with an adult.

 There is always a variety of holiday music played at the light show. Many songs are synced with our Mega Tree Lights show.

We hold the event in a public park where dogs are allowed on leash.  However, with the darkness, busy pathways and unfamiliar surroundings  things can happen. Leashes wrapped around legs, a cookie snatched from a  small child's hand or aggressive barking are all possible. We love dogs  but are always concerned for them. We ask that caution be exercised and  perhaps your pup would do better in the car or left at home. Nature's  Coastal Holiday cannot be held accountable for what can happen.
