Elitch Holidays lights the park with more than four million lights and large holiday displays, and keeps a set of theme-park rides and attractions running in the cold-weather season. Families can visit Santa Claus and catch a holiday show in the park's Trocadero Theatre, and the park promises more rides, more lights and more festive extras for this year's edition. Admission is by an Elitch Holidays admission ticket or an active 2026 Season Pass. The park is open only on select dates during the run, so check the park-hours calendar before you go; parking is paid. More details, including the full schedule, were still to be announced when this was checked. ## Similar picks in Denver - [Schweiger Ranch Holiday Display of Lights](https://grassyknees.com/denver/activities/schweiger-ranch-holiday-display-of-lights--listing-b601af57607d78d21d379b6e) — Nov 26 – Jan 24 · Schweiger Ranch, Lone Tree · All ages · checked Oct 27.
