Thanks for the post. I live about 5-10 min. away and was thinking of going this year. I guess I'll say my $30. Sounds like a rip off.

Is $15 per person or per car?

It is $15 for the car. I was also thinking of doing this as my 4 year old is going crazy with the few displays out all ready.

Thanks Tahiti for posting this.

I think we will do NYC this year instead.

DON'T do it! Not worth it. We did it last year and took our twins and it sucked. lol.......Not worth the money or the show...It wasn't even good.

I think we are going to do Lancaster/Amish country *and get to see snow hopefully too!)..

I've seen better displays in my neighborhood!!!!!!!!!

Default Pnc

I took my grandchildren, ages 5 and 3, in 2006 and they loved it.

It was the first time that they saw so many lights and displays in one location.

We went again last year and they enjoyed it even more. They were looking for the displays that they remembered from the previous year.

The youngest one has already asked if I was going to take them again this year.

I told them that we certainly were going to go again this year.

It costs $15 per car load. The smiles and enjoyment for the young ones are priceless. Taking the grandkids to the Christmas light show will be one memory that they will always have of their grandparents.

The drive thru lasts about 15-20 minutes. There is no need to speed thru.
You can drive slow, stop and enjoy all the displays. If the drive only lasted 5 minutes for you, you missed a lot.

One other bit of advice. Get there around 6pm. Last year when we were leaving, there was a car line to get in that backed up all the way back to the Parkway entrance

I agree 'DON'T DO IT", what a waste of money. It really did take about 5 minutes to drive thru!
