✨✨Tulalip Lights and Ice 2025 ✨✨
You need to plan ahead if you’re planning to go there. The traffic from Tacoma to Tulalip is around 2-3 hours… (esp on a weekend).
Looking for parking needs a lot of patience too. We suggest to go there early where there’s still sunlight. Park by the outlet mall garage or close to the outlet mall. It’s walking distance. There are people parking by the grass field at the back of the casino, up to you, but it’s a loooong walk on wet grass.
Bathroom is challenging and needs a lot of patience and bladder space… Since it’s cold, there are people like me 🫣who always wants to take a trip to the restroom. It’s also by the outlet mall (by the food court) and the line is really long. There are porta potties by the lights per se (but it’s kinda low maintained, at least during our visit).
We have a toddler so we planned to take a munch at the food court (in the outlet mall)… gets too crowded as well. There are people who puts their shopping bags/ stuff on chairs even though they don’t dine or wait for food… There are food trucks outside too and there are benches to sit and eat/ rest… it’s just cold and not ideal if you have kids ‘coz there are some people smoking outside.
There’s free balloon twisting for the kids when we went there, FYI the line is also kinda long. They said there’s Mr & Mrs Santa and you can take photos with them for free… haven’t seen them when we visited.
The lights are worth a visit. You just needed a lot of patience going in & out of the vicinity. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
Disclaimer: We went here on a Black Friday night at around 2pm and literally arrived and parked on the outlet mall garage at around 5pm. From Tacoma to Seattle was around 25-30mins, no traffic. Felt the heavy flow entering Everett. And the traffic gets worse from there. 😅
