FrostFest: Wisconsin’s Winter Festival at Ballpark Commons

FrostFest brings Wisconsin's winter celebration to Franklin Field, offering a full day of holiday activities for families. The festival runs from late morning through evening, with separate daytime and evening sessions at different price points. General admission gets you into the festival grounds to enjoy illuminated holiday displays, live entertainment, character meet-and-greets, and festive photo opportunities. You'll also find a holiday marketplace stocked with seasonal goods and treats, plus concessions serving hot chocolate and holiday food. For active fun, the festival features snow tubing, ice skating, carnival rides and games, and an interactive holiday maze—though these require separate tickets beyond general admission. Daytime hours (11 a.m.–4 p.m.) work well for families seeking a lower-cost option with family-friendly entertainment, while evenings feature additional live music on select nights and more elaborate light displays. A Premier Pass option provides unlimited access to participating attractions on certain dates if you plan to try multiple activities.
