That’s entirely up to you! Because this is our first year, we don’t have an exact drive time yet, and it can vary depending on traffic and how you like to experience the show. Some guests take a leisurely drive to enjoy every twinkle, while others make a few stops along the way to take in our special activities and treats. We invite you to go at your own pace and savor the sights and sounds of the season.
Advance purchase is not required, but it may speed up your time in line. Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate on event nights.
Discounted tickets are ONLY available for purchase at the gate.
No, all tickets are non-refundable.
Friendly pets are welcome to ride along, but must remain in your vehicle.
We shine on! Twinkle Nights is open during rain or snow conditions unless weather conditions make driving unsafe. If we do need to cancel an event, we will notify you of any closures through the email you used to purchase your ticket. All tickets are non-refundable.
These nights are designed especially for individuals and families with sensory sensitivities who want to enjoy the magic of the season. On these special evenings, the lights will shine without flashing or strobing, and the music will take on a softer tone. Instead of the big high-energy hits, our on-site radio station will play peaceful, instrumental versions of seasonal favorites to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere.
Twinkle Nights shines brighter thanks to our amazing sponsors and local partners! Many displays are custom-crafted by community businesses right here in the Findlay area. We value their participation and their continued support of Twinkle Nights and Family Resource Center.

It takes hundreds of hands (and more than a few miles of string lights) to make Twinkle Nights shine, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
From greeting guests at the gate to serving cocoa and directing traffic, our volunteers are the heartbeat of this event.
Whether you can lend a hand for one night or the whole season, your time helps keep this event affordable for our neighbors who need the light the most right now – all while supporting Family Resource Center’s mission to light the way toward better mental health.
