Tips & Advice

- Tune your car radio to the designated station (if provided) for a synchronized holiday soundtrack that enhances the light displays.
- Ensure your vehicle's fuel tank is full before entering, as the drive-thru experience can be lengthy and you won't want to miss any part of the display.
- Consider visiting on a weeknight for a potentially shorter wait time and a more relaxed viewing experience.
- Check their social media or website for any last-minute updates on operating hours or special promotions before heading out.
