Arrive Early for the Best Views and No Crowds

You can expect to see Winter City Lights in full holiday swing if you plan to visit after 7 PM. However, arriving earlier will allow you to enjoy the trail and displays without the rush—something parents in particular will appreciate! So once you arrive, head straight to the 1.5-mile-long Christmas lights trail. 

Lined with thousands of twinkling lights and lighted trees, the trail offers a breathtaking walk through the woods, where you’ll encounter some of the most sophisticated Christmas light shows you won’t see anywhere else. This magical stroll is a great way to kick off your visit, and it’s perfect for those who enjoy a leisurely pace.

Head to the 52-Foot Christmas Tree 

Once you’ve soaked in the light trail, take in the focal point of Winter City Lights—the 52-foot high programmable Christmas tree. It comes to life every half hour with a stunning light show synchronized to holiday music. Plus, a 200-foot diameter canopy of twinkling lights cascades down from the top of the tree, coordinating perfectly with the tree’s light show.

Cozy Up to Bonfires and Enjoy Festive Treats 

After marveling at the lights, relax and snuggle up to warmth. Head over to the 5-acre mulched compound to find 14 bonfires, hay bales, and plenty of tables and chairs to sit back and soak in the holiday cheer. Grab a cup of delicious hot chocolate from the concessions stand while indulging your sweet tooth in fresh pizza, burgers, or s’mores.
