Relive memories and create new ones at this holiday event that bridges generations young and old.
Christmas Lights and MoreYou never know what’s around the next turn at Nite Lites. Drive through its twinkling Christmas light sculptures then stretch your legs in Winter Wonderland, where all ages can enjoy a mug of hot cocoa, a seasonal snack, and of course, Santa himself — even his reindeer visit on certain weekends. Kids can also watch a holiday puppet show or take a ride on a pint-sized train. At Nite Lites, admission prices are per-car, so pack it full! For updated information, rates and times, visit NiteLitesShow.com.
