Questions

What's the difference between a walk-thru and a drive-thru light show?

Walk-thrus (often at zoos, gardens and parks) let you stroll the displays and usually add food, music and photo spots. Drive-thrus keep you in your car on a lit route and are easier with small kids or in cold weather.

When do Christmas light shows open?

Many ticketed shows open in mid to late November and run into early January. Home and neighborhood displays mostly start the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Are there free Christmas light shows?

Yes. Downtown displays, tree lightings, parades and decorated neighborhoods are usually free. Ticketed shows at zoos, gardens and fairgrounds typically charge per person or per car.

Missing one? Add it free. See also: Drive-Thru Christmas Lights · Christmas Lights Synced to Music
