In order to keep our guests happy and warm, the COTA elves closely monitor the weather forecast each day of Winter Wonderland. We wouldn't want rain, wind, or extreme cold to make your holidays any less jolly, and the safety and comfort of our guests is our top priority. In the event of a weather cancellation, COTA's Winter Wonderland page (here) will be updated to reflect the latest openings and closings, and all advance purchasers will receive an automatic refund of their tickets.
If inclement weather arrives while the park is open (after 6PM) on a given night and forces Winter Wonderland to close, all tickets for that night will be honored on any other day the park is open.
