Philbrook Festival

Festival Night admission includes access to the full museum grounds and gardens which are decorated for the holidays. This includes light shows in the gardens, museum galleries and special exhibitions, a visit with Santa, Lego village, and more. There is an additional fee of $5 per person to ride the train and a fee of $5 per child to participate in the make and take art activity.

Each Festival Night has a limited capacity. Please pre-purchase tickets for all guests in your party, including children, to ensure your spot. If you do not pre-purchase tickets, your party may not be admitted if maximum capacity is reached.

Yes. Festival Nights are reserved for ticketholders only. Reservations are strongly recommended for guests wishing to dine in the restaurant on a Festival Night (6:15-8:30pm).

Each Festival Night features programmed light shows in the gardens, a make-and-take art activity for children and families (additional ticket required per participant), admission to the imaginative Lego Village, and outdoor activities inside and out. Children may also visit Santa to share their holiday wish list in our artist-designed and illuminated log cabin.

Philbrook Festival is an indoor and outdoor event. In case of inclement weather, outdoor activities including the light show may be cancelled. Please contact Philbrook’s Guest Experience Team at 918-748-5300 if you have questions relating to weather cancellations.

We are committed to creating accessible experiences for all visitors.
Accessible entry and exit points are indicated on all maps. The Museum and much of the Gardens are accessible for those using a wheelchair or mobility device. To access the Gardens, head to the lower level. Just before you enter the lower-level galleries, you’ll see a door. This door leads you outside, down a steep ramp, and into the Gardens.

The accessible path to the Cabin will lead you down a steep ramp, around the Film Lawn, behind the Tempietto, and onto an unpaved path. The entire journey is about a quarter of a mile one way. If you need accommodation, please let a staff member or volunteer know. Our Guest Experience Team is happy to provide alternate options for getting to the Gardens and Cabin to see Santa.

Please feel free to ask any Philbrook staff or volunteer, throughout the evening, for assistance and or additional accommodation.

A limited number of wheelchairs are available at the front desk on a first-come, first-served basis.
