Tips & Advice

  • Plan your visit for November if you can, because that is when the show offers its lowest ticket price of the season.
  • Buy your ticket online ahead of time, because advance tickets work on any night the show is open and each one is good for a single visit.
  • Check your vehicle's height, width and length before you go, because oversized vehicles and buses are turned away at the entrance.
  • Be sure of your plans before you buy, because all tickets are final sale and can't be exchanged or refunded.
  • If you want a later drive on a weeknight, go after December 12, when the show stays open later every night.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Visiting in November gets you the lowest ticket price of the season.
  • Santa Saver tickets are sold at a discount and can be used all season long.
  • An unlimited-use season pass is sold separately and includes a commemorative ornament.
  • Limo and party bus tickets are sold separately for larger groups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Magic of Lights suited to?

All ages. It's a drive-through show, so the whole family stays together in the car for more than a mile of light displays.

What will we see along the route?

Holiday scenes and characters in lights, including a larger-than-life sparkling Holiday Barbie display, a supersized Bigfoot Monster Truck and the life-sized dinosaurs of Prehistoric Christmas.

Does one ticket cover everyone in the car?

Yes. One vehicle ticket covers the whole carload, so you can bring the entire family on a single ticket.

Can I bring a large vehicle like a van, limo or bus?

Standard vehicles have up to three rows of seating. Limos and party buses need their own ticket type and can be no more than 15 feet long. Buses are not allowed. No vehicle taller than 10 ft 10 in, wider than 10 ft 5 in or longer than 22 ft can enter.

Can I use my ticket on a different night?

Yes. Tickets bought online in advance work once on any night the show is open. All sales are final, with no exchanges or refunds unless the event is cancelled without a new date.
