I ahve been to the Rose Bowl many many times and must tell you that this Association is a GREAT bunch of people. Love the RED COATS and white pants. The hosue that the office is in is extremely well kept and the people are very welcoming and friendly. No wonder that the Association is so well organized. They take... More

I can remember many New Years mornings waiting in the cold for the parade to start. It's worth it. When I can't be there in person, I try to watch it on TV. Last year I took my wife to see the Post-Parade float exhibit. The Post-Parade gives you a good long look, but usually the animation is off, but... More

The TOR house was once the Wigley family ( yes the chewing gum folks) mansion. Well worth a visit on your next trip to Pasadena. A great history of the Rose Parade is on display for you to enjoy.

We did the official Tournament of Roses tour in 2012 and 2013. Both times we say "Worth every single penny we spent!" Highlights: * Float decorating: See 3-4 different sites including the Rose Bowl site where the general public views floats from a scaffold-walkway along one wall while Official Tour folks get to walk ON THE FLOOR OF WAREHOUSE along...

Can't figure a better place to spend New Years than Pasadena. The city is a beautiful place and the parade was a wonder to behold-everyone should do the parade at least once in their life in person, it's a memory you won't ever forget.

Pleasant motivated people who really know their roses and parade facts. All "petal pushers" were thoughtful and helpful. The floats were dramatic. This is the first parade that's equal or better in person than on TV. A "must" for the old "Bucket List".

Loved attending the Rose Parade after years of watching it on TV. The price of Grandstand tickets was well worth the expense.

Purchased bleacher seats from Sharp Seating Company. They boast themselves as the only provider of seats for the Rose Bowl Parade. I can't tell you enough how happy we were with the entire days activities. From assigned parking to assigned seats. To Post parade travel to the game. They had representatives at every step of the way. I would recommend... More
