The Festival of Lights is quite popular as it attracts about 250,000 guests yearly. They typically add or change a few of the displays, but my family has seen some favorites every year that we have visited. My kids particularly like the mermaid at the lake, the golfer who hits the ball down the fence line, and the reindeer who jump over the vehicles! If you prefer much shorter lines and lower rates, I recommend the discount nights per the chart above.

My family enjoys stopping to shop at the gift village in the big red barn. You can find a wide variety of locally crafted items at the shop, such as beautiful woodworking, crafts, sports memorabilia, and lots of goodies to eat and drink. Find additional pictures of the holiday shop at my Gift Village article.

Guests will also find Santa and Mrs. Claus near the gift shop on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays until December 23. Tanglewood offers their own horse-drawn carriage rides and tractor-drawn hayrides through the Festival of Lights and overnight accommodations at their bed and breakfast or campground.
