More than six miles of illuminated giant characters are created with millions of twinkling lights at this annual holiday spectacle, now celebrating its fifteenth year.

A few highlights include:

  • The Twelve Days of Christmas

  • Santa’s Elves at Work

  • The North Pole Express

  • The Animated Sliding Penguin

  • Jack and The Beanstalk

  • Icicle Bridge

  • Candy Cane Lane

  • A live nativity scene, beginning on December 4, 2008 complete with live animals, actors, a manger and a replica stable
  • Following the dazzling driving tour and a visit to the nativity scene, plan to spend some time at Holiday Village, featuring a bonfire for roasting marshmallows, holiday fare, pony and amusement rides, holiday shopping and more. Pictures with Santa take place at the Santa Shop and Christmas trees are available for purchase, while supplies last.
