If you dont mind a little traffic, this is a great place to go with the kids. The homeowners here really take the time to put together some great displays and some even sell popcorn, drinks, and light up wands to passing vehicles.Thank you to everyone who puts in the time to make it a great free place to take the kids and enjoy the lights!

I go to this neighborhood almost every year and I love it. I agree that they are doing the same decoration every year, but come on, still its pretty. They spend days to decorate and spend lots of money for other peoples pleasure. I appreciate them for all of that.The beauty of this neighborhood is that almost all homes decorate. You cant see this in many cities.

This neighborhood is great and the neighbors go all out. I live here and I am writing a positive review even with tens of thousands of cars passing my door every December. It’s just a safe, friendly, and completely volunteer effort because the neighborhood enjoys doing it. Don’t miss out on Halloween either. Our first Halloween here blew my mind.

Block after block after block of lights, even got hot chocolate and cotton candy from the residences that had a stand set up! Kids loved it and so did i!

I miss home and being able to watch the Christmas boat parade. Someone told me about this and I will definitely be doing this every year. Very well organized and lots to see and take pictures of. There were even hot coco for sale stands along the way. Plan on at least 2hours to really enjoy it. This is not something you want to rush thru! My kids loved it and said they were looking forward to next year. Great evening listening to Christmas carols on the radio and device free family fun.

Very beautiful lights - probably the best in DFW area!Line of cars can be long on weekends. So visiting on weekdays will give better experience. Just plan on 1-1.5 hour if you want to see the entire area.It’s well worth it though!

When does the light drive through start this year for 2020?

Longest wait ever ....patience

This is one of the best Christmas lights I have seen. Kudos to the people’s effort on this. Will have to plan this trip before going due to heavy traffic. Its worth a visit. And it is absolutely free so I would definitely considering for next year as well.

I love the christmas lights and police helping the traffic situated but not all houses have christmas lights i guess we cant really do anything about that. So far so good.

The only thing special about this is the traffic. Its just lights in a somewhat decent part of town.

Ive been coming here for years to look at the Christmas Lights. I guess its a Christmas tradition in my family now. Ive taken my children since they where toddlers and now the youngest just graduated high school. The lights and decorations in Interlochen are by far the best In the Metroplex. They go all out every year with the boldest Christmas decorations Ive ever seen and its always such a joy to see.

Youre going to have to wait. Bring snacks and drinks. But once you get started its not bad. And a group of young ladies sale hot chocolate, popcorn, and cotton candy. Then theres the lights. AMAZING! What an awesome neighborhood!

Very nice light displays. During the event, there is a route through the neighborhood to drive around and view from your car...the line was very long. Instead, you could park nearby (out of the neighborhood) and walk in.

The traffic getting into the neighborhood was a nightmare...we literally waited three hours in line when we got there at 7, I recommend arriving well before 7 pm.That being said, the lights in the neighborhood were very beautifully done. This was our first time seeing the lights, and not only were the decorations fun and unique, but there was a lot to see. I’d say we were looking at lights in the neighborhood for a good 40 minutes to an hour.Would definitely recommend, but be prepared to spend a lot of time going to this one.

I read a lot about this neighborhood and how it’s the best in Dallas at decorating and Christmas lights are a must see. Well, first - good luck trying to get in. We spent an hour in the traffic some 500 yards from the neighborhood entrance. Second - very few houses are decorated, now it looks like pretty much every neighborhood. Nothing to see.

We loved it! The nearly dead stop traffic (2hrs for just 2miles) to get in the neighborhood was well worth it. Absolutely stunning homes decked with lights and themes. Beautiful. The kids weee so excited it made all the wait worth the trip.

Nice and friendly staff.

Well WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! HADNT BEEN OUT THERE IN YEARS AND IM GLAD WE WENT TO START THE TRADITION BACK UP!!! LOVE THAT KIDS STILL SELL HOT COCOA!!!

It was nice, just wish they were more exciting for the long wait we had to do

It was awesome. I hate the traffic getting in, but once you get in you feel the Christmas magic! It’s worth the wait.

Quite an evening. Although I have lived in the area for many years, seeing the light event was a first. Some of the home owners go all out to impress, so its a little disappointing that a few choose to not participate. Several homes had left their garbage containers in the street. Hard not to notice. But traffic was orderly and the route takes you past most of the decorated homes.

Extremely disappointing. More than half the houses were dark and it just didnt have the Christmas spirit this year. After going, I heard others complain about it too. Some houses were really great but most of the award winners I thought were not the best, they were pretty basic.

We go every year on my sons birthday, the 21st. We have gone since he turned one and he always finds a new favorite every year! Awesome neighborhood with amazing lights!!!

Did not live up to the hype. I’m not sure if this stems from nostalgia or what, but I was very disappointed. There were some pretty houses, but nothing that blew me away. Start to finish, this took a little over 3 hours...WAS NOT WORTH IT.

Id say the experience was mixed. Some, but not all the decorations were good. However huge amount of traffic getting into the neighborhood. Took us close to two hours to complete. Recommend going early around 630pm.

We drove 30 minutes to just look at the lights like every year. This years barely any houses are decorated its actually really sad cuz this neighborhood always been known for its lavage lights to bring so much joy and happiness during Christmas. Its honestly just a waste of time now your kids will most likely sit in the car and complain because theres literally maybe fifteen houses that have lights this year. most of the residents dont want to do it because of all the traffic and have complained a lot this year to the city about the people that do participate in the lights. We definitely will not be back.

Very beautiful and very well done.

Are they having the lights display this year?

Honestly, it’s really over-rated and underwhelming. You can drive around different neighborhoods and find lights just as pretty. There wasn’t anything spectacular. From the time we got in line, to the time we exited, it was three hours. Traffic was terrible. If it was just a regular neighborhood and you didn’t have to wait, it was be nice but it’s nothing to write home about.

My wife said how great it has been in years past. This was my first time going. We waited for over 2 hours for maybe 10 houses decorated well. Overall it was a complete waste of time. We will not be back.

Great experience! If someone wants to see Christmas lights by driving around the neighborhood, this is a great place in DFW area at least for the first time. Been to Prairie Lights (Grand Prairie), Vitruvian lights(Addison), Frisco square lights before but my kids enjoyed this place the best compared to those. To avoid big lines, need to be there around 7:00 PM otherwise expect long queues. You can buy fresh pop corn, hot cocoa, cotton candy (packaged, not my favorite),.. if you did not plan to carry snacks with you. Takes ~ 90 mins to drive around from the starting point.

Beautiful lights! The kids (and parents) loved it! It may be our new tradition!

I love coming here during Christmas time. The lights are amazing. It does get crowded though so you have to get here kind of early. My wife wants to make this a family tradition and Im totally fine with them.

I go to these lights every year. Its a good experience with some friends and family even though its a drive through type of thing its very enjoyable to go to

If I could rate a zero star, I would. We waited over 3.5 hours for the worst lights ever. Rude people, and most of the houses had no lights at all. They need to be removed from the list of best places to go. Go to Deerfield in Plano.

Visited for the Christmas lights. Wonderful place.

Great place to enjoy lights and spend quality time with family p.s do get full tank of gas before you go

This area used to be magical when I was a kid. I took my girls and nieces when they were younger and they loved it as well. Last year we became grand parents so my husband and I loaded up the Tahoe with the grown kids, nieces, my sister and her grand kids and not even half the houses had lights. We all said the mood was off when we didnt see anyone on the main road walking or selling anything. Next year we will have to find some where else.

Really nice place.. first time visited any lighting arrangement n found good..

Always Great to see the Christmas lights in Interlochen every year, but I wish more people would turn their headlights off and just drive around only using their park lights.

Not very many houses decorated .definitely but like it used to be.

I mean if you’re not going to do it as a neighborhood just let everybody else go because it’s been a tradition for a long time for a lot of family. Just put it up on your Facebook page or your website because that was Very disappointing I pulled into a trailer park that blew that neighborhood out of the water on the way home.

Just not what I thought. Was here from out of town, and was looking for big light display. But it was ok for the area is was located in

Best in town

Absolutely an amazing life time experience! Really enjoyed it!

Beautiful lights kids enjoyed it alot just alot of traffic to get in

Pretty upset with the fact that my family and I drove 35 minutes to get here only to be welcomed with a line that was at least 4 miles long. Not worth the time, gas or money.

Not what it used to be. Lines still take hours, and alot of people didnt participate, or just threw some light on really quick to please hoa

Love this tradition. My only complaint is the police did not block off the left lane down by Tom Thumb so while it took me an hour plus to get to Green Oaks its because people were cutting because the police blocked the left lane and forced cutters to cut earlier instead of eliminating cutter near Tom Thumb. So if youre going for the lights get in the right lane when u see Tom Thumb on Fielder and Random Mill and make cutters turn around and get in line like you had to. Its a 2 hour wait at least.

Very slow going especially to enter but a gorgeous display of holiday cheer.

This place looks great during Christmas time.

Best Christmas Lights Around

Great display, thank you to all the residents for your hard work.

Had a wonderful time with my wife and daughter

Took an hour and a half to get to the first Christmas lights and there was absolutely nothing spectacular about it! Just like any other neighborhood that puts lights up. Total waste of time.

Still great after all these years, but is a little disappointing that so many home owners choose to not participate. You would think they know what they’re getting into living in a neighborhood that dedicates a full month into Christmas decorations that makes National news attention. Also make sure you check out the side streets like Loch Lomond Ct, some really nice kid themed homes down that street.

They are beautiful

Absolutely great! We try to make sure to go every year. But thee closer it gets to Christmas the longer the wait to see the lights due to traffic. I would suggest going as soon as it gets dark to avoid some of the traffic.

Great display of lights.

After waiting 3 hours to get into the neighborhood I was expecting much more. For a neighborhood that understands the traffic they receive to view their holiday lights I was shocked at the lack of participation. Dont waste your time and turn around.

The lights were spectacular. Though the line was horrendous. We waited for over 2 hours to get in, but it was well worth it. The bonus was it was completely free.

Wow! I was taken here as a kid from 1984 to 1990. I now live in Oklahoma and wondered if they still did the lights! I cant believe that 30 years later its STILL a holiday tradition! I vividly remember specific parts such as a house that had a giant weeping willow tree, each limb stranded with lights. It was magical! Will definitely be taking my kids someday!

2 hours in a line of traffic just to enter. ...other visitors were completely rude cutting in the line of cars to a point of one driver nearly ramming us to cut. Although the lights were beautiful, not worth the headache to enter.

Nice displays of lights and figures.

A drive through residential Christmas lights event. The lights and decorations are really good reflecting meticulous efforts of the residents. Some are also selling hot chocolate and chips to have on the go. The street signs guide through the path of the event. Arriving early is highly recommended to avoid heavy congestion on the way.

This year seemed a lot shorter than in years past. We have made it a yearly tradition since 1998. My kids have grown up going. I enjoyed the streets where everyone participated, and seeing most of the favorites. I was just disappointed that it seemed to be shorter.Also, people please turn off your lights or just run your parking lights while going through. It is aggravating to be blinded by truck after truck when trying to drive through.

Take a ride thru you will love it

I service this area as a tree service and so I passed this address every dayHowever I am raised up most my life in ArlingtonSo I not only haveHung lights for most of the neighbors at least once and still to this day I trim their treesSo I used to sell those glow lights when I was in high school and many other things.So my experience has always been year round with interlocken.HoweverThe Light Display Is Awesome because of the home owners and they put on a show guys so expect it if this is your first experience.Make sure you get in line they will turn you around they was doing that when I was in diapers.God Interlocken

Really beautiful light displays, and theres hot chocolate sold by some of the homeowners as well as popcorn and waters in case you didnt get any before getting in line.. the lines are super long but worth it in the end. Plan to be there for almost an hr and half on a good day so stop at a restroom before you go in. My family enjoyed the lights and were grateful there were officers in the area to keep control of traffic specially in this cold weather, they were amazing for that.

Its a very nice drive thru Christmas light display with several neighborhood streets participating. Its extremely well organized with police directing traffic and an inside lane that allows the locals to travel around the visitors. Lines are very long but move very steady. Its fairly obvious that this has been an annual event for many years. Some of the displays have been around for a very long time. Almost every neighbor participates. Little children are probably going to be more drawn to this type of display. Fun, sometimes over the top with color or number of lights, but not fancy displays.I would have to say though, even in the rain, we enjoyed it more than the Highland Park tour, where cars were parked on both sides of the street and it was an absolute obstacle course to maneuver.

It is a family tradition of ours to go see the Christmas lights at Interlochen every year. It has never been a disappointment. The route has recently changed and it seems a bit smaller but all of our favorite displays are still available. Im not aware of another neighborhood or attraction that has lights like this for free. I suggest getting there early unless you want to wait 45 min-2hrs to get into the neighborhood.

It was just magical.

Our favorite Christmas tradition. So thankful for this neighborhood and the effort they put into the lights.

Bring snacks with you and enjoy the long line of lights!!! We enjoyed it, snow would have made this a winter wonderland!!

The light show has been better in previous years. I did like the themed houses. Like the Christmas story one and the santa in front of the trailer was cute. I also enjoyed the older lady hola hopping and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. She was pretty cool. Hope to see more lights in the future!

Weve been there for the past 3 years. There are very nice light displays, but more importantly its free, but still allows family bonding time. Only downside is the traffic, but if you get there around 630 or 7 that isnt much of an issue. Thanks to the people Lake Interlochen in Arlington for displaying your lights for all and spreading holiday cheer.

12/22/18 - Not worth the wait! Spent 2.5 hours in a line of traffic, finally get to the neighborhood and 50% of the houses didnt have lights. The lights that were on were, again, not worth the wait. Very disappointing! We will not return to this neighborhood.

Weve gone every year since weve moved here six years ago and its only gotten better over the years. We love that they award the homeowners for their creativity and they get to sell items outside their homes if someone like to buy favors for their kids or need a drink. Gives them something to look forward to other than being blocked in or out of their homes. Also, youre not locked in and can really get out of line whenever you need or want to to leave.

Took over 3 hours to get from the exit off 30 to the end of the tour but it was worth it. We had a blast. We are me and my 2 grown daughters!

One of the best Christmas light displays around.

Long waiting so prepare but well worth fantastic display of lights merry Christmas

Not sure why there were so many houses NOT lit up or decorated this time. I had family visiting from out of town. I took them there and even though theres horses that stood out, the neighborhood as a whole was a complete let down from years past.

Took hours to drive thru. Lights were okay but if you want to enjoy them you need to be going not stopped the whole time. Plus peoppe living there out selling hot chocolate just slowed everything down for maybe 2 cars that actually wanted it and only because their kids were screaming fot some. Its Christmas and you want to be greedy?

Was violently rear ended waiting in a line of cars to see this. Someone visiting Texas was subjected to personal injury due to the lack of organization here, honestly this is not a business or an organization, it should not be publicized as an attraction in the first place. This situation is dangerous and honestly were considering legal action.

Fabulous area to look at lights with your family! Weve gone every year for the past 4 years. Get there right as it opens though, or youll be waiting in line for a while. Its a drive through neighborhood light show.

Its an amazing experience, filled with street after street of beautifully decorated homes. Make sure you go early and Id even suggest you go during the week if you can because traffic can get very congested and backed up in this area in a major way. If youve never driven through this neighborhood then make sure you put it on a list for the Christmas season because its worth it. Make sure to eat or bring food and drinks along. Also if you small kids make sure you stop and take them to the restroom before you get locked into to the traffic pattern of this event. There is no where at all to stop and use the bathroom once youre committed. There are plenty of police that are in the area directing traffic. The 2017 Christmas season saw several home owners selling canned sodas, popcorn and hot chocolate from their yards as your vehicle drove by. It was a fun adventure that takes a good bit of time, so make sure to plan an evening for it.

Sad to say... Interlochen is not what it used to be. One thing that hasnt changed are the impatient, ruthless, so called adults, racing for the front of the line, bulldozing their way in between cars! PITIFUL!

We went there twice this year cause we enjoyed it so much . Thank you

No bathroom, pretty lights though.

We go every year and still enjoy it! Thanks to everyone who participates.

The lights are getting better each year.

We waited an hour and a half to get in and see nothing special. Its like the residents decided to not participate. I see better lit up houses in my own tiny little neighborhood. Dont waste your time.

The lights were decent, but the wait was far too much for the show.

As a owner of a limo service in Dallas. I must say Interlochen is one of the most beautiful displays of Christmas lights.

Have taken my kids here for years. Its beautiful but I never go during peak times it will take forever to get through.

The lights were beautiful as well as the unique structures/homes. It does take a while to go through the neighborhood to view them though.

We got there exactly at 7pm and waited behind cars for a little over an hour, once inside, it took us abojt another hour to see everything. It was beautiful !!!!!

Great lights

Nice set up. Long route with lots of drivers. Make sure you use the bathroom before you go.
