Christmastime often goes by so fast that we don’t really have time to slow down and appreciate every moment. Slow things down, just for an evening, when you visit Hershey Sweet Lights in Pennsylvania, a magnificent drive-thru lights display that boasts more than one million lights. Then head in to Hersheypark for even more holiday fun.
Create magical Christmas memories when you drive through Hershey Sweet Lights, a sensational lights display that spans more than 1,200 acres. (That’s two miles of shimmering lights!)
Slowly meander along the wooded path, where you’ll pass nearly 600 animated lights displays - from scenes of an enchanted forest to Santa and Mrs. Claus cooking over a hot stove.
Each car or van requires one ticket, with ticket prices varying depending on the date you’re visiting. Cars can carry up to eight passengers. Each car will receive two pair of Holospec glasses to enhance your experience.
By the time you finish your journey along the more than 1,200 acres, you’ll probably have that Christmas vibe. If you’ve got the time, head into Hersheypark for its popular annual Christmas Candylane.
Inside the park, you’ll be dazzled by millions more lights and a full menu of holiday activities. Climb aboard some of the many rides that are set to run for wintertime fun.
Santa, Rudolph, and the rest of the reindeer will be on hand to greet guests. You’ll probably want to catch a showing of Noel, a spectacular show that features 250,000 lights dancing to popular Christmas tunes.
