Drive-thru Tickets
Enjoy a magical evening in the warmth of your vehicle as you drive through 1.5 miles of large animated displays while listening to holiday music on your car radio. See the sights and sounds of an erupting volcano in the dangerously fun Dinosaur Den, cheer on Santa shooting hoops, wave at a pen of playful penguins, watch blazing pirate cannons and sail through tunnels of moving lights. Over 50 themed displays and a 90-foot twinkling tree will have you oohing and aahing throughout your adventure.
First presented in 1999, Fantasy of Lights is now in its 25th year and has become a cherished Holiday tradition. It is bigger, better and brighter than ever before thanks to the displays’ environmentally friendly LED lighting.
The Fantasy of Lights Drive-thru takes place at Vasona Lake County Park, 333 Blossom Hill Road, Los Gatos.
