The Baguio Country Club Christmas Village is open for the 2026 season from 23 October to 3 January 2027, with this year's theme, "Christmas in Candyland". Regular admission is ₱150 for adults and teens 13 and up, ₱130 for children 8 to 12, and ₱120 for seniors and adults with disabilities. It opens at 10 a.m. daily and closes at 10 p.m. from Monday to Thursday and 11 p.m. from Friday to Sunday. Tickets are sold online with a QR code, and the gate is strict about it: no QR code, no queue.
The village is one of Baguio's most familiar holiday traditions, and for many families it is the reason to go up the mountain between October and New Year. Most visitors come for the lights at night and the artificial snowfall, which drifts down over the crowd every so often and gets the biggest reaction of the night, from children and adults alike.
This guide covers the ticket types and discounts, the two-in-one deal with the Flora and Fauna Park, the paid rides for kids, the rules that trip people up at the gate, and the best time to go if you want photos without a wall of people in them.

Ticket Prices for 2026
There are three price tiers. Regular rates apply to most visitors. Sponsored guests, meaning people staying at or using the club's facilities, pay less with a coupon from the Baguio Country Club front desk. Residents of the BLISTT area (Baguio, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba and Tublay) also get lower rates with proof of residence.
- Adults, 13 and up: ₱150 regular, ₱105 sponsored, ₱100 BLISTT
- Kids, 8 to 12: ₱130 regular, ₱100 sponsored, ₱100 BLISTT
- Kids with disabilities, 8 to 12: ₱105 regular, ₱90 sponsored, ₱75 BLISTT
- Seniors and adults with disabilities: ₱120 regular, ₱110 sponsored, ₱75 BLISTT
BLISTT rates are for walk-in buyers only, and seniors and persons with disabilities need a valid ID. If you are bringing children under 8, ask the club or message its official Facebook page about their admission before you go.
Buying Tickets Online
Tickets are sold through bccepay.com. Each ticket is good for one entry at any point before 3 January 2027, so there is no need to choose a date when you buy. Save the QR code on your phone and take a screenshot as a backup, because signal can be weak in a crowd. Buying ahead also means you skip the ticket line and go straight to the entry queue.
The Two-in-One Deal With the Flora and Fauna Park
The club also runs a Flora and Fauna Park, and a combined ticket covers both: ₱250 for adults, ₱230 for kids 8 to 12, ₱205 for kids with disabilities, and ₱220 for seniors and adults with disabilities. The park tour runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and has to come first, so this works best as an afternoon-into-evening plan: the park in daylight, then the village once the lights come on. Combined tickets are non-refundable and do not include the ball pit or carousel.
What's Inside the Village
Beyond the Candyland decorations and the lights, the main features this year are a nativity scene, the snowfall, a wishing tree, a wishing well, a ball pit and a carousel. The snowfall is the highlight for most people, so stay a while near the central area, where the crowd gathers when it starts.
The ball pit and carousel each cost ₱100 extra per child:
- Ball pit, ages 4 to 12: 20-minute sessions for up to 25 children. Socks are required, parents stay outside, and no food, toys or diving are allowed.
- Carousel, ages 2 to 12: five-minute rides for up to six children, with one adult per child. Closed shoes are required and loose accessories have to come off.
Both require a parent to sign a waiver. On busy nights the queues for these rides can be longer than the rides themselves, so if your kids have their hearts set on one, do it first.
Rules That Catch People Out
- No food or drinks inside. Eat before you go.
- No bathroom or beach slippers. Wear proper shoes, which you will want anyway on a cold night.
- Small pets are allowed only on a leash and wearing a diaper, and they are not allowed in the ball pit or carousel.
- Children must be supervised at all times.
- The club may close the village in bad weather. Check its Facebook page before setting out on a rainy evening.
Best Time to Go
The village is open from 10 a.m., but it is really a night attraction. The lights and snowfall look best after dark, which also means evenings are when it is busiest. For the best mix of atmosphere and space, arrive just as it gets dark on a weekday. Weekends in late November and December, and the days between Christmas and New Year, are the most crowded.
Dress warmly. Evenings in Baguio get cold from December on, and you will be standing outside for a while. Our guide to the coldest months in Baguio has a packing list.
Getting There and Parking
The Baguio Country Club is on Country Club Road, a short taxi ride from Session Road and Burnham Park. Taxis are the easiest option, since traffic around the club gets heavy on holiday evenings. If you drive, the club points visitors to parking along Paterno Street; ask security for other options if it is full.
Making a Night of It
The Christmas Village pairs well with other Baguio evenings in the holiday season. A daytime walk at the new Baguio Arboretum, followed by the village after dark, makes for a full and easy day. Anyone with energy left can head down to the Baguio Night Market on Harrison Road, which usually opens around 9 p.m.
For families with young children, the village is one of the simplest Baguio outings to plan: buy the QR ticket, eat dinner first, dress for the cold and leave enough time to wait for the snow.
