Location
Tips & Advice
- Buy your vehicle ticket online ahead of time, because only a limited number of tickets may be sold at the booth each night.
- Visit Monday through Wednesday if you can, since weekends and the week before Christmas bring longer entry waits and lines through the park.
- Bring a credit card if you plan to buy at the gate, because the on-site ticket booth does not accept cash.
- Tune your radio to AM 1700 before you start the two-mile route so the holiday music plays as you pass the displays.
- Let pets stretch before you arrive, because they must stay in the car and there are no relief areas for non-service animals.
Special Events & Promotions
- Military discount with a valid military ID shown at the gate, not available on discount nights.
- Special discount nights run during the season.
- New large displays are added to the collection every year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we get out of the car during the drive?
No. Fantasy Lights is drive-through only, and you stay in your vehicle the whole way unless you need the restroom.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but pets must stay in your vehicle. There are no areas at the event where non-service animals can relieve themselves.
Which nights are least crowded?
Mondays through Wednesdays are the most relaxed. Weekends and the week leading up to Christmas, including December 25, are much busier, with longer waits for entry and longer lines through the park.
Can I buy tickets on site?
A limited number of tickets may be sold at the ticket booth each night. The booth takes credit cards only, not cash. You can also buy tickets in person at Sprinker Recreation Center, which takes cash, cards and checks. Buying online in advance guarantees entry on the night you choose.
Is there music along the route?
Yes. Tune your car radio to AM 1700 for holiday music as you drive the two-mile route.
