Laguna Ten Bosch Illumination Drone Show
Visitors can wander through giant champagne-gold illumination arches, glowing domes linked by light tunnels, and an ocean-blue illuminated palace.

The festivities also feature a giant Christmas tree, 360-degree 3D projection mapping shows, costumed character greetings, and an outdoor Christmas market offering seasonal treats and gifts.

Location
Tips & Advice
- The lights come on at sundown and lighting times shift by day and season, so time your arrival around dusk to watch the park light up.
- If you drive, plan to stay once you've parked, because re-entry to the Lagunasia lot isn't allowed and overflow cars are sent to a temporary lot.
- By train, ride the JR Tokaido Line to Gamagori Station and take the free shuttle bus, but check the bus schedule first because times can change.
- Pick a Passport ticket rather than admission only if you want to ride the bumper boats through the Crystal Arches, since they're a Passport attraction.
- Plan your visit for Dec 24–26, 29 or 30 to catch the La Rêve de Noël fireworks with fountains and projection mapping around Luna Port.
