Lights were okay but definitely not worth the $30 admission. Drive thru display took about 10 minutes from start to finish. No Christmas music or anything else special about it.

We've been to this a few times. We only go when they change or add displays. It is quite expensive for how long the driver thru is though. You can stop and visit Santa at certain times. If you're a fan of Christmas lights and don't mind the cost then this is a fine attraction at Christmas time in Branson.

"Fun for the family!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 23, 2021
We drove through this light display with our two boys and they loved it so much! The display is broken up into different Christmas themes and each had a good 2-3 minutes of lights to drive through. There was everything from the 12 days of Christmas, to a prehistoric Christmas, to the reason for the season, nativity lights. The greeter at the ticket booth was friendly and welcomed us with a smile. This was a great way to spend an evening on our Christmas break. 💚❤️💚

5 minute drive through lights. Very spaced out, not set to music like ours at home. $25 a car was way to much for so few lights.

$30 for 5 minutes of driving through lights! Don’t fall for this money trap. What we thought would be a fun drive through the lights was a BIG disappointment.
