Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children under 12 with discounts for military and APSU students. Private party rentals are also available.

Special events are also planned throughout with the season, including movie nights, a dance party, a college night, and a luau-themed celebration. Details on these events will be available soon.

“Things are going to look a lot different this year! Downtown Commons will be wide open for people to enjoy.
