When purchasing your ticket for Cincinnati’s Nights of Lights, you will select a date and 30-minute time slot in which you will arrive at the fairgrounds. Guests can enter at any time within their selected 30-minute window. 

For the best experience, guests will begin driving through the show once it is dark enough for the lights to really shine. Guests purchasing a ticket for the 5:30pm - 6:00pm timeslot should expect a small wait as they will not be able to immediately enter the show, this will however, put them towards the front of the line!

Please note: If you are unable to make your selected time, we will honor your unused ticket when you are able to attend.  Tickets are sold at the gate for those without a reservation.

Before purchasing your tickets, please read below about our vehicle restrictions:
