Best Times to See the Show
Beat the rush and enjoy the light show at your own pace! Weekends are always popular times, as is the week of Christmas. To avoid the crowds, plan on attending the Winter Wonderland - Powered by Comcast in early December, or during week nights.
We last took our 8 and 10 year old boys when they were probably 3 & 5. So it was all new to them this year, they didn't remember any of it. They liked being able to see it all from the comfort of the heated car with their music playing on the radio. They especially liked the arches and the animated lights. I don't know that kids above 13 would get as much enjoyment out of it. Younger toddlers and children will definitely love all the sparkling lights.
The raceway was completely transformed and was so beautiful! We loved driving through and brought our own hot chocolate and marshmallows. This only thing I had a problem with was that once you were on there was no way to leave so if you child starts to have a meltdown or something you're stuck, the cars move at a slow pace too as to enjoy the view.
