What city has the best Christmas lights in Connecticut?
You’ll find some of the very best light displays in Connecticut, but which city has the best Christmas lights? That’s really subjective, especially with so many cities transforming into winter wonderlands. Hartford, for example, boasts the spectacular, annual Holiday Lights Fantasia. The two-mile, drive-thru light display in Goodwin Park glitters with more than one million lights and 200 lighted displays.
Lighthouse Park in New Haven also lights up with the annual Fantasy of Lights, with all proceeds benefiting Goodwill of Southern New England. Drive through one of the best light displays in Connecticut that’s awash in more than 100,000 twinkling lights and 80 animated light displays.
What is the one best light display in Connecticut?
The best light display in Connecticut just might be Amarante’s Winter Wonderland in Dayville. Designed and built by Daniel Amarante, the winter wonderland features more than 160,000 lights, several dozen illuminated Christmas trees, and more than 40 inflatables. Guests are able to stroll through the yard to embrace the sheer magic of the Christmas light display.
Wonderland in Roseville, in Fairfield, is another picture-perfect Christmas light display in Connecticut and a must-visit. Designed and hosted by the Halliwell family, the holiday light display features thousands of lights. You can even walk through it for a closer look. Visiting is free, but all donations go to the Shriners Hospital for Children.
What else can I do around the holidays in Connecticut?
You’ll find a ton of fun things to do in Connecticut during the holidays. In addition to all the holiday light displays, add a magical Christmas train ride to your to-do list. Climb aboard the Thomaston’s Northern Lights Limited, at the Railroad Museum, for a ride with Santa.
Visit the North Pole, or Connecticut’s version of it, at Carl Bozenski’s Christmas Village in Torrington, a tradition since 1948. Peek in on Santa’s elves preparing gifts for Christmas morning. Meet some of Santa’s (real!) reindeer, and share your Christmas wishes with the man of the hour, Santa.
Stop by Dzen Farm in South Windsor, too, to pick up your Christmas tree and enjoy a variety of holiday festivities. Meet Jack and Belle, a beautiful reindeer; find the perfect tree, and pick out accessories, such as wreaths, to decorate your home.
