One of the most enchanting ways to kick off the holiday season is a visit to Prairie Lights—a dazzling drive-through wonderland filled with festive cheer. As someone who visits annually with my kids, I can confidently say it’s our favorite holiday tradition. Prairie Lights is more than just a light show; it’s an opportunity to create a magical childhood filled with memories that will last a lifetime. Personally, my kids both love this annual tradition and told me that this was their favorite year of Prairie Lights! I agree!
With so much to see and do, I highly recommend planning your visit early. Here are my pro tips for ensuring your family has the best experience.
Book Early to Secure Your Spot
Tickets sell out quickly, especially on weekends and holidays. To guarantee your favorite date and time, pre-purchase your tickets online. Make sure to screenshot your ticket confirmation, as cell service can be slow in the park.
What’s New This Year?
This year, Prairie Lights has upped the magic with:
- New themed light installations and displays you can enjoy even while waiting in line.
- A re-designed walk-through forest that feels like stepping into a storybook.
- A completely fresh take on their iconic animated tunnels.
- Theme nights for added fun. Be sure to follow Prairie Lights on social media for updates.
Every year feels like a brand-new adventure, which is why my family and I look forward to it so much.
When to Visit for the Best Experience
- Plan for at least 45 minutes on slower nights or up to three hours on busy evenings, especially during holidays.
- For shorter lines, visit Monday-Thursday during the first two weeks of the event or the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
- Arrive early. Guests can start queueing as early as 5 p.m.
Prepare for a Smooth Ride
- Fuel up your tank and take a restroom break before getting in line.
- Once inside, turn off your headlights and enjoy the glow of the lights. For added holiday cheer, tune in to the official Prairie Lights Spotify playlist.
Capture the Magic with Santa
No visit is complete without a stop for Photos with Santa. Don’t forget to bring cash or a credit card for this special experience and for holiday treats.
Follow Prairie Lights for Updates
Stay connected on social media for updates on:
- Theme nights and special events.
- Weather announcements.
Every year, Prairie Lights fills my heart with joy as I watch my kids light up with wonder and excitement. It’s truly the perfect way to create a magical childhood and make the holiday season unforgettable.
