FAQs
How do timed tickets work? Do I have to buy in advance?
- Entry to Camp Christmas will be in 15-minute increments. For example, if your ticket is for 3pm, you’ll be allowed entry between 3pm and 3:15pm.
- Because tickets for each time slot are limited, we highly encourage purchasing tickets in advance.
- Tickets will be available for purchase at the door, yet they are subject to availability and may already be sold out on the day or time you arrive.
- The on-site Camp Christmas box office only accepts credit cards.
- For the most up-to-date schedule, please see our ticketing calendar.
- Schedule is subject to change. Private events may affect hours of operation.
- Why 15-minute entries? To give you the time and space to look at all of the delirious details! Timed ticketing greatly reduces wait times and overcrowding.
Where do I go? The North Pole?
- Camp Christmas takes place at The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace, 2501 Dallas St, Aurora, CO 80010
- The entrance to The Hangar is located indoors on the northwest side of Stanley Marketplace. If you see signs for Endorphin, Mondo Market and Miette et Chocolat, you’re getting warmer! (Or in this case, sub-zero).
- Stanley Marketplace has 400+ free parking spaces that are often full during the busy holiday season. As a popular community marketplace with over 50 businesses, we encourage you to arrive at Stanley Marketplace early. There is a lot to do, unique places to shop and tasty food to eat, so we encourage you to arrive early or stay after your visit!
- The best drop-off point is via the main parking lot on the south side of the building.
- Additional parking is available on the streets surrounding Stanley. Please note any signs for parking restrictions or permit-only areas.
- We encourage all of our visitors who plan to consume adult beverages to travel to Stanley via a car-sharing service
Is this experience outdoors or indoors?
Camp Christmas takes place inside The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace. Guests will enter from the interior of Stanley Marketplace.
How long will a visit to Camp Christmas last?
Camp Christmas is an over-the-top installation filling 10,000 square feet! An average visit will last about 60 minutes. Luckily, the spirit of the season will linger long after you’re done.
- As with all self-guided exhibits, some people will finish sooner and others will take longer.
- Please note closing times on our ticketing schedule. All visitors will be asked to exit at that time, regardless of what time they entered the experience.
Can I bring a large group? What about renting out the space for a party?
Yes! You will be able to purchase up to 9 tickets at a time online. If you have 10 or more people in your party, the DCPA Group Sales team can help find the right day and time for you. They will also assist with corporate holiday party inquiries and can let you know available dates and rates. Contact Group Sales.
Can I take photos?
Yes! Why look this incredible if you can’t share it? Take pictures to your heart’s content. Give your holiday photo some flair, make your friends jelly with a new profile pic and snap something to remember us by (it lasts longer).
Please note: photos are permitted for personal use only. The exhibition or sale of any Camp Christmas photos is prohibited. Putting something framed on your fireplace is A-OK.
