Every year, Magic of Lights brings the holiday spirit to life with spectacular illuminated displays and festive favorites. Look for the whimsical Prehistoric Dino Christmas, Winter Wonderland, 12 Days of Christmas, Toyland featuring Christmas Barbie, BIGFOOT® Monster Truck, festive elves, and the magnificent Reindeer Road.
One of the biggest highlights is the breathtaking 400-foot Enchanting Tunnel of Lights, along with additional illuminated tunnels that surround visitors in a brilliant glow. It's the kind of experience that makes little eyes widen and gives everyone in the car a reason to say, "Look at that!"
Little moments. Big holiday memories.
Sometimes the best holiday traditions are the simplest ones: piling into the car, listening to Christmas music, pointing out favorite displays, and sharing the excitement together. Magic of Lights makes it easy to create those memories without worrying about the weather outside.
Keep the Fun Going at Holiday Village
The fun doesn't have to end when the drive-through route does! After enjoying the lights, families can visit the Jolly Holiday Village, an indoor holiday destination where guests can step out of the car and enjoy even more seasonal activities.
Holiday magic awaits around every turn.
The village features photo stations, letters to Santa, s'mores, games, and a lineup of festive activities. It's a chance to stretch your legs, soak up more holiday cheer, and make an entire evening of your visit.
Whether your family loves the twinkling lights, the playful displays, or the chance to visit Santa, there's plenty to make this outing feel special.
The Magic Behind the Lights
A little holiday wonder takes a lot of work!
Behind the scenes, hundreds of custom-engineered steel frames and miles of framework help create the larger-than-life scenes that make Magic of Lights such a spectacular sight.
