Helpful Light Show Tips:

  • We anticipate peak days (Friday-Sunday) and the holidays (including the full week of Christmas) to be the busiest. Please expect longer wait times.
  • Your ticket is not for a specific time. The light show will open at 5 PM and gates close at 10 PM. You can come anytime during those hours. If you would like to avoid the wait on weekends, consider buying a Dasher Pass.
  • Masks will not be required while you are driving around, however, they are required when visiting The Museum and Holiday Hub.
  • Recommended speed through Peace, Love & Lights is 4-5 mph.
  • Tune in to 107.7 FM for holiday music and personalities to accompany your drive through experience, as well as for important emergency and weather-related announcements.
