Seasonal drive-through light display at 1101 42nd St in Indianapolis, where synchronized music and illuminated scenes create a festive route. A multi-generation family tradition for many local visitors. Priced per car.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families of any age, including infants and grandparents, since everyone experiences it from inside the car. The per-car pricing model makes it economical for larger families. Reviewers warn of long vehicle queues on peak nights β€” arriving on weeknights or earlier in the season reduces wait times significantly.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Enter from 42nd Street β€” standard GPS routing may direct you to the wrong approach
⏰Visit on weeknights to avoid the longest car queues that build up on weekends
🎟️Turn on the recommended radio station at the entrance to sync the music to the light displays
πŸš—The show runs seasonally β€” confirm opening and closing dates before making the trip

β€œWorth every penny. Load the kids up and go see this. Tricky to get to since you have to enter off of 42nd street. There were only two of us and we still felt like it was a good value βœ¨οΈβ€οΈπŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’šβœ¨οΈβ€

β€œWe had a great night. The wait was very long. I added some great pictures and video. I love the feels and the festive way the lights and music sinc up together. Its a must see for all ages. This has been our family tradition for so many years. I do feel its kinda pricey at $38 per car no matter how many people are in the car. Thats why i gave it 4 stars.”
