For those too excited to wait until midnight, the Redlands Visitor Center rings in the new year at 4 p.m., which is the stroke of midnight in London. Ten…Nine…Eight… when the crowd finishes their countdown at 4 pm, the Beach Ball Drop begins. 1,000 Inflated beach balls will descend from above, floating down on the families like warm snowflakes, with the goal for participants to keep them bouncing overhead for as long as possible. Guests may also write on the Wishing Wall: Whether it is a personal goal, a dream for the future, or doing something for the very first time.

3:00 pm-5 pm

If it's raining, could you bring an umbrella? - Beach Balls & water go together. No child will leave without a beach ball!

A core part of the Redlands Visitor Center’s mission is creating family-friendly downtown experiences. We are proud to offer a safe, festive New Year’s celebration designed with earlier bedtimes in mind, giving families and visitors a fun way to ring in the new year together.
