We had wanted to stop by before Christmas but ran out of time, and were SO pleased to see that they were open on Christmas night. It was a fabulous way to end the day! We had 4 people in the car and felt the $18 was perfect. If it had only been us and our one son, it may have been a bit pricey, but now that we’ve done it once, it will be a new tradition for sure!! So happy to have something like this so close to us.
I thought it would be a short route, as i’m familiar with the park, but was pleasantly surprised that they turned us around and had the whole back section all lit up too! The tunnels were amazing as well.
Just a few suggestions to make “great” even better- The sign asking to drive with parking lights only was helpful. Along with that, perhaps have the person in the booth remind as well, we had to pull off and let someone go past us, as we were being blinded by their lights. Also, if there were more rope lights marking the path, it would make it easier to see when driving some of the darker parts.
I don’t know how feasible it is, but maybe have all of the lights stay ON in between songs instead of turning off? We found ourselves stopping in between songs because 1) it was dark, and 2) we didn’t want to miss anything.
-Also, more lights in the field to the right at the end would be great in future years, as well as maybe some extra “characters” for the kids, though it’s wonderful as it is, but our 4 year old got especially excited about the nativity scene and the snowman. :)
I hope this returns yearly, our son is already begging to go...
Read moreWe had a really enjoyable time. I was looking at it last year, but figured a quick drive around a ballpark wouldn’t be worth it. Decided on it this year. While the best part of the drive though is in the stadium, there is quite a bit of lights outside too. I’m not really sure how long the drive took, maybe 20 ish minutes driving very slowly.
We parked and went into the stadium. Both first and third base sides have trees lined up. They were nice to look at. Santa was taking pictures, a carousel you could ride (not sure if there was a fee). You could sit in the stands and just enjoy the lights with Christmas music in the background (was cool and rainy so we didn’t sit long). Walked around the stadium, and enjoyed the music/trees/picture with Santa. Probably spent another 20-30 minutes inside the ballpark.
All in all a very fun evening. Not the biggest drive through lights I’ve been too, but it was big enough and the stadium looked great. Add that to the fact you can go inside and enjoy it makes it...
Read moreGot my whole family together. Picked up grandma from the nursing home during bingo. She loves Christmas lights and that was the only reason she left bingo. Also picked up my sister from the halfway house. They only let her out one night a week for an hour and she was so excited to see the lights. Although might not have been a good idea considering the reason she’s in there is because of some flashing lights. Anyway, did that all of that to just found out it was CLOSED even though it said OPEN until 9:30 PM. Now have to convince the nursing home to play bingo with grandma at 8 PM and the halfway house to take back my sister while she’s drunk off eggnog....
