A 2-mile drive-through light show along the lake at Lynn Creek Park, with 4 million lights and giant light tunnels that kids can take in entirely from their car seats; halfway through, the Holiday Village lets you get out for a light show and hot cocoa — the easiest light display for little kids and rainy nights.

💡 Tips
Runs from before Thanksgiving to December 31, from dark until 10pm; weekend evenings mean an hour-long line to get in, so go on a weeknight or right at opening. Tickets are sold online per car, so the more people in the car, the better the deal.
