Fun with Friends Frequently asked questions
Yes — groups of 15 or more receive 20% off admission on tickets $19.99+, Monday–Friday, plus add-ons like $5 and $10 Market tokens, beverage tokens, and branded VCM merchandise. For a full-service private event, please contact us to book.
Outside alcohol isn't permitted, but there's plenty inside: Glühwein, Spiked Apple Cider, Feuerzangenbowle, and traditional Bavarian beers. Two forms of ID are required for alcohol purchases — one government-issued photo ID, plus a second like a credit card. Pre-packaged alcohol is available for purchase but can't be consumed on-site.
Weekday evenings from 4pm on, and all day Friday through Sunday, tend to be busiest — especially the final week before Christmas. For a quieter visit, come earlier in the season and choose an early time slot.
2026 marks the most significant evolution in the Market's history. New this season: the Wishing Forest, the Secret Wall Cocktail Hut, the Fire Pit Lounge, new German Village facades at the entrance, and a limited-edition Collectable Mug — alongside a new visual identity and all your returning favourites, including the Pyramid, the Carousel, vintage Alley Press photo prints, and Snow Showers every 30 minutes.
For capacity and safety reasons, re-entry isn't permitted once you've exited.
