From November 21, 2025, to January 3, 2026, prepare to be amazed by a spectacular display of lights and holiday magic. The event promises to be a nightly spectacle, operating rain or shine, and importantly, it embraces all holidays, ensuring everyone can join in the celebration. If weather conditions become uncertain, keep an eye on the event’s Facebook page; updates regarding any potential closings will be posted by 3:00 PM each day.
The Magic of Lights offers a diverse range of experiences to suit everyone’s festive desires. Operating hours will vary throughout the event’s duration, so it’s always a good idea to check the schedule for the specific dates you plan to attend. This inclusive approach ensures that families, friends, and individuals can plan their visits effectively. You can choose between a breathtaking drive-through experience or a charming walk-through village; Magic of Lights has something to ignite your holiday spirit.
Step into a wonderland with the event’s three distinct attractions, each offering a unique way to experience the magic. The “Drive-Through” section is an immersive journey spanning nearly two miles, adorned with millions of lights and captivating themed displays. Guests can enjoy this spectacle from the comfort of their own vehicles while tuning into a special on-site radio station. This popular attraction is priced at $10 per person, offering incredible value for such an extensive and visually stunning experience.
For those who love getting up close and personal with animals, the “Deer Forest” provides an unforgettable drive-through encounter. Here, you’ll drive your vehicle through herds of various animals, including deer, emus, cattle, zebras, donkeys, and sheep, many of which will eagerly eat from your hand. Additional animal food is available for purchase, enhancing the interactive experience. This unique attraction costs $10 per vehicle, making it an affordable adventure for the whole carload. Please remember that bringing outside food for the animals is strictly prohibited to ensure their safety and well-being.
“Santa’s Village” offers a delightful walk-through experience where you can park your car and immerse yourself in festive activities. Admission to this charming area is $5 per person, and it includes most activities, with the exception of professional photos with the baby kangaroos. Here, you can capture memorable moments with Santa himself (until Christmas Eve) and the mischievous Grinch. The village also boasts intimate animal encounters with bunnies, alpacas, goats, sheep, cattle, and even camels.
In Santa’s Village, the magic continues with opportunities to roast marshmallows by the fire, sip on warm hot cocoa, and enjoy the cozy ambiance. Beyond the activities, you’ll find concessions, Santa’s Bakery for sweet treats, and a gift shop to pick up holiday souvenirs. Please note that Santa’s Village operates on a cashless system, accepting debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, and Venmo for all purchases. Additionally, while pets are welcome in your vehicle, they are not permitted within Santa’s Village to ensure a comfortable environment for all guests and animals. Children aged two and under enjoy free admission to all sections of the event.
