1. 1.Book tickets early for popular family shows like Disney on Ice, which often sell out weeks in advance
2. 2.Arrive 30-45 minutes early to find parking, get snacks, and let kids use the restroom before the show starts
3. 3.Bring a light jacket even for indoor events, as the auditorium can get chilly, especially during ice skating performances
4. 4.Check the venue's website regularly for family-friendly matinee performances on weekends, which are often more affordable than evening shows
5. 5.Consider seats in the lower bowl for younger children who may have trouble seeing from upper levels

Weekend matinee performances are ideal for families with young children who may struggle with late evening shows. The venue hosts the most family-oriented events during school breaks, holidays, and winter months when ice shows are most popular.

Ticket prices vary widely by event from budget-friendly to premium. Street and garage parking are available nearby, with some paid lots within walking distance. Concessions are available inside, though prices are typical for entertainment venues.

Peak family programming occurs during winter holidays (November-January) with ice shows and festive performances. Summer may have fewer family events, though the venue operates year-round. Check the seasonal schedule for special spring break and holiday weekend shows.

Head to Leadbelly (downtown Lincoln) for burgers and comfort food that kids enjoy, or visit Ivanna Cone for ice cream treats after the show,both are within a short drive of the venue.
