Big or small?
No, not the size of your Christmas tree. We’re talking about holiday light installations around the country, from ones that light up neighborhood streets like Dyker Heights in Brooklyn , New York, to snow resorts to big, splashy ones in theme parks, Las Vegas and New York.
We’ve put together some of our favorites with our partners at Family Travel Forum. They are an especially good bet when the kids need something to distract them after too many days out of school and you need a break. In Las Vegas, Glittering Lights at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a drive-through experience with free nights for those who serve the community, including teachers, first-responders, veterans and military personnel. There are more than 5 million LED lights that intertwine throughout a 2.5-mile course through the speedway.
There are plenty of walk-through displays too. Albuquerque, New Mexico, for example, boasts New Mexico’s largest walk-through holiday lights display at Biopark Botanic Garden River of Lights. Making its grand return to Seattle, Washington, Enchant comes to T-Mobile Park until Dec. 29. It’s set in a magical world with an ice-skating trail, marketplace and the “world’s largest Christmas light maze.”
Some displays last well into the new year. We love San Francisco’s free outdoor Illuminate SF Festival of Light with more than 40 installations in 17 neighborhoods created by more than 40 artists. And it lasts until the end of January! Some draw people to historic hotels from the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs not only famous for its light displays but also for its life-sized gingerbread creation, each different every year. Riverside, California’s the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, a historic AAA-Four Diamond hotel, has ignited its annual Festival of Lights. USA Today named the hotel’s free holiday extravaganza of lights and animated characters the “Best Public Lights Display in the Nation.
