Getting There, Parking and More
Parking
Koziar's is a drive-in, walk-around attraction in open country, and parking is on site and free. The family says there is ample space, and groups of 20 or more on a bus also park free, with drivers and tour guides let in at no charge. Use a map app with live traffic to get there: the organizer notes that Grand View Road near the village is closed because of a bridge outage, so older printed directions may send you the wrong way.

Accessibility
The village is a self-guided walk on paved, lit paths, and the family describes it as wheelchair and stroller friendly. A small number of wheelchairs can be borrowed free of charge at the village, first come, first served. A visit usually takes 60 to 90 minutes and mixes outdoor displays with 11 indoor buildings of different sizes, so dress for the weather. Only licensed, task-trained service animals are allowed in; pets are not.

Quiet Times to Visit
The family says Saturdays in December between 5 and 8 pm are the busiest times, with traffic delays on the approach roads. Weeknights after Thanksgiving, outside Christmas week, cost less: Prime Nights, which cost $5 more per ticket, are the Saturdays before Thanksgiving, every weekend after Thanksgiving and Christmas week. That leaves Fridays and Sundays before Thanksgiving and Monday to Thursday after it at the standard price.
