Rose Parade floats up close
See the finished Rose Parade floats in Pasadena in the days after the parade, without the pre-dawn crowds.
- January 1 to 3 (post-parade float viewing)
- About 1 hr 23 min each way from Lancaster, before traffic
- More walking. A mile or more, crowds, or stairs. Best for steady walkers.

Times are a guide. You and Eugene set the real plan when you book.

Good to know
- Far easier for seniors than the parade itself, which means a pre-dawn start and hours on the curb.
- Viewing is outdoors on pavement with crowds; check the year's ticket and drop-off rules when you book.
