FrostFest: Wisconsin’s Winter Festival at Ballpark Commons

FrostFest brings Wisconsin's winter festival to Franklin Field, offering a full day of seasonal activities for families. From 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., younger kids and budget-conscious families can enjoy the daytime experience with festive light displays, holiday characters, Santa meet-and-greets, and seasonal food and shopping. Evening hours extend the fun until 10:30 p.m. with live music from Generation Z and enhanced entertainment as the decorative lights shine brighter after dark. Beyond general admission, the festival offers optional paid activities including snow tubing, ice skating, carnival rides, games, and an interactive holiday maze. A Daytime Premier Pass provides unlimited access to participating attractions at a higher rate. Admission ranges from $5–$10 for children ages 3–12 and $10–$20 for adults during daytime and evening hours, with free daytime parking and paid evening parking. Ride and attraction tickets are sold separately, so families can choose their own level of involvement.
