Get ready to enjoy Christmas lights in a whole new way! You’ll drive through our parking lot while viewing thousands of dazzling light displays set to your favorite holiday music. Your experience begins on Stanford Ranch Road in front of the entrance arch. You will line up on the street and will be welcomed by a member of our ticketing team. Have your mobile device or print-out ready to have your ticket scanned. Tune your radio to 92.9 FM to hear the Christmas music that is synced to the lights.
You’ll start at the lower staging lot where your car will be lined up to enter the drive-thru. While you’re in line, our concessions team will give you the chance to purchase some freshly popped kettle corn or a light stick for the kiddos. Be prepared to wait until your car is released. Once released you will drive through several themed “lands” that will immerse you in lights, music, and the true meaning of Christmas.
Porta Potties are available at the beginning of the Drive-Thru if you need to use a restroom while waiting for the show to begin. Look for signage to direct you or ask one of our team members.
