Newfields Winterlights: The Basics
Tickets
Even when there isn't a pandemic, everyone, including Newfields members, should buy tickets well in advance of Winterlights, as it frequently sells out.
FAQ: Do I need a Newfields entry ticket in addition to a Winterlights ticket?
Yes and no. Purchase of a Newfields daytime entrance ticket does not give you entrance to Winterlights at night. However, if you're visiting after hours, all you need is a Winterlights ticket, as the museum portion is closed anyway.
Parking at Winterlights
Parking for Winterlights is *free* with your ticket. On crowded nights, you will be directed by attendants to park in the large lot, including on the grass, and then you will walk to the check-in area, back toward the front of the museum entrance.
Safety Precautions
What if it rains?
Tickets are non-refundable, but exchange options are available. It drizzled during our visit to Winterlights, but with our winter coats and gloves, it was no less enjoyable!
