  • A realistic Bethlehem-themed village
  • 50-foot Ferris Wheel
  • Photos with Santa
  • Games
  • Fire pits for s’mores roasting
  • More

Classic Christmas movies will be shown on the big screen too, every Thursday through Sunday.

Time saving tips for Speedway Christmas

  • If you just want to drive through, go Mon-Wed. There shouldn’t be a wait.
  • If you want to also go to the Christmas Village, Thursdays and Sundays less busy than Friday and Saturday (and cheaper.)
  • If you want to go Friday or Saturday, go EARLY. Get there before it opens.

Important: Mobile tickets will NOT be accepted for admission to Speedway Christmas. You must print your ticket and present it at the gate for entry. Failure to have your printed ticket will result in you having pay (cash or charge accepted) for an additional admission at the gate.
