Rose Parade Float VIP Tour

Great experience !!!
I came with the family to see the many rose parade floats the day after the ¹⁄₁. There is an entrance fee. I don’t know how much bc I got free tickets. $ 12 possibly.
ALOT of people and most def. crowded. I wanted to see my favorite floats which were: Dole Hawaiian pineapple float, Oregon football float & Trader Joe’s as well as the Bible Lutheran church float.
It’s something you just gotta do @ least once. Great for everyone of all ages.
Coffee, food, hot dogs, drinks, funnel cakes & more for sale, which is great.
It’s hard to walk to be honest and not great for those that get anxiety from crowds.
PARKING: insane. They will bus you in depending on where you park, you can always try your best to find parking on the street and walk.
Fun.

Wasn’t a VIP tour. But rather a walking tour of the floats. The floats are parked in Atladena, not Pasadena. We parked at the Rose Bowl, bought our tickets, then took a shuttle to where the floats are parked. Don’t bring your own water/​food. Because the security checks bags & will make you throw it away. They do sell some concessions inside. Very enjoyable viewing the floats up close. I enjoyed it over watching parade on television.

Go if you can. Take the gold line to get there.
