Land of Lights was a family affair that has been made tradition with us. It was so beautiful! Seeing happy faces,kids singing and smiling with excitement and fascination was very good for us. It was magical! Im sure we will go back again this season and hopefully years to come. Merry Christmas *

Great Family Fun during the holidays. Prices or very reasonable and the entertainment is perfect. We enjoyed our visit, and this was our first. Park has great light attractions, themes, music, and well maintained drives. Staff was friendly and seem to like their job. I highly recommend you and your family, friends, and associates to visit this great Christmas park. The price is $25.00 per inside vehicle, and they have concessions before or after your visit. Drive slow and take your time to view each theme and hear the music.

Lots of lights, very entertaining. Enjoyed the many different characters of cartoon and live characters.

So i rate yall 3 stars cuz overall park was nice but I’m very disappointed on how we where treated by staff.Whoever was running the entrance on this day was very rude to us. It was our first time here and my Bf was taking us for a date and the directions took us down the Highway so we had no idea how anything worked. So we tried to ask how to get in Line and he kept Rudely telling us to get in line and how everyone has been waiting. Wouldn’t even Help us figure out where we where supposed to go to get in line.Sorry but will not be coming back. The santa land location in tyler has much friendlier staff.

We drove from Lufkin Texas and can definitely say it was worth the trip. Was very organized and had every character u can imagine ️ my grandbabies loved it

Wonderful people beautiful lights and all for a good cause

This place is very nice. My kids absolutely loved it they had a great time. We drove 2 hours away and was not disappointed. The lights are beautiful nicely themed. And for the price cant beat it. Also like everybody was very friendly and they had Santa there to take pictures and talk to the kids. A full concession afterwards parking and the drive was not a problem at all. We are definitely going to come back and I would highly recommend this to anybody. Also if you have kids or if youre just a fan of Waldo see how many you can find. My kids had a blast trying to find all of them

Was underwhelmed. After Prairie Lights, this was not really about lights. We appreciate the beautifully decorated cut outs, but with a name like “Land of Lights”, we expected much more in lights.

Bigger and better than the last time we were here!

It doesnt open until November, so it was a waste of time.

Have gone to this place for years and years and ALWAYS well worth the waitlove love love it

Even more wonderful today as it was 20 years ago!!! Our kids loved the storybook characters the most. How many Waldos can you find through the mile long park is our favorite game!!!

What a beautiful drive through holiday park! The only thing we were thinking would make it better would be the chance to loop back through at a lowered rate. We wouldve loved to grab a second look at the other side we felt like we missed (because we were so caught up on what was on our side of car). Definitely a new family tradition!

We had a great time! The kids loved everything about it! The speaker systems to be updated. The music in some areas was hard to hear and sound very staticky. The light was great. The workers were very friendly. Great experience. Olaf was a HUGE hit at the end!!

I cant say enough Wonderful things about this place. Best family place Ive ever been to. Its a tradition with us. WE LOVE YALL AND SANTA CLAUS TOO! God Bless all of You!

The kids loved it! We piled into a regular SUV that cost $25 to enter, to save money because our passenger van that we normally drive would have cost $40!!! Way too expensive, not sure why cost is so high for different kinds of vehicles...

Kids love it had all characters they loved

Always an amazing experience with great display craftsmanship

Great experience!

Very beautiful drive through Christmas lights. Entry fee $25.

Such a beautiful place! An amazing idea for the kiddos around the holiday time or even Christmas Eve if possible. $25 for a family car and an amazing experience with so many gorgeous lights and decorations. My pictures dont even remotely do this Christmas park justice.

A wonderful holiday tradition of driving through this light park! Love the themed areas and the live Grinch.

A very happy experience for the kids

Wow! I’m telling everyone I know in the Dallas area to check this out. It was good for all ages and had all types of cartoons, superheroes, and nostalgia. They had a great setup and had a (specifically) Christ-centered part that was cool. It really was a massive amount of decorations, numerous light tunnels (my favorite), and it was quite a lengthy amount of time spent for the price of $25 for our car. Well worth the drive and cost. They even had Santa there for children. My other favorite part was the real person dressed as Grinch that interacted with you towards the end. Warning though: steep inclines, etc.. esp with a manual transmission.. know what you’re doing.

This place was AWESOME and worth every penny. I was a bit sceptical of the $25 cost per car, but it was well worth it. It took us about 45 minutes to drive thru the entire park. I HIGHLY recommend this and bring your kids or grandkids. You will not regret it!

This was probably the best Christmas light show that in all of my 58 years young I have experienced.. it was absolutely breathtaking the only complaint I have is where you get hot chocolate those employees or volunteers were not very friendly or communicative at all when I asked a question.. I understand they dont have to be but it was my first time and I wanted to experience it all.. even though that was a bad experience if I was rich I would be there every night experiencing the lights because it was that magical to me.. so the next time I go the only thing to make it magical again is not having hot chocolate..

What a wonderful experience.

Plenty of lights to look at and well worth the money if you have a carload of people. If the weather is cool to cold it makes for an even more enjoyable experience. If time permits stop off at the end to enjoy some holiday refreshments. Great way to spend some quality time with the family during the holidays.

Fun holiday light experience. A nice long drive with different themed sections. We had a lot of fun hunting for all the Waldos. The hill is a big one so be prepared.

We made the 1 hour drive from Mesquite & it was worth it. We were greeted immediately upon entrance to the park & the process was explained to us. The drive thru the park took us about 45 minutes & we thoroughly enjoyed it. At the end, we stopped at the Snack Shack & at Santas House for pics. The staff was super friendly & all my kids really enjoyed their time. Thank you!!!

The lights were terrific, and the Santa Claus was great. The only down side to the whole experience were the Grinches that cut the long line all of us nice, decent people were waiting in to enter the park. What a nice thing to teach your children!

We love this place! Beautiful! Wish they offered coupons or discounts as it is a little pricey. But we manage to go every year. Family tradition. Love the covered bridges.

We all loved it! The staff was super nice. It is much longer and more well kept than others I have been to. Also, Santa was the most patient and talkative w the kids that I have encountered yet. We will be back

Awesome display of Christmas lights. Worth the money and the wait in line!

We have lived in the area for several years, but this is the first year that we were able to go to the Land of Lights in Athens Texas. We took our five-year-old grandson and he had a blast!! This display consist mainly of the wood cutouts. However, the way that they have put them all together and all the storylines and different things to see was amazing. They have many of the actual light displays also, and the water area is beautiful . The hills in the tunnels are a huge surprise and beautiful . They have something for everyone young and old.If you are not in the Christmas spirit before you visit, you will be after this experience.At the end of this display, they even have a house with the one and only Santa Claus!! You can visit Santa and have your picture taken for $10 for one picture and $15 for two . Then in addition to seeing Santa, Olaf was was on stage and interacting with the children. The smiles on the childrens faces seeing and interacting with Olaf is definitely a heart moving moment. They have a concession stand at the end or the beginning and you can visit there beginning or at the end. The barbecue smelled absolutely delicious. Once you enter the gates there are several of the porta potties if you have to make a pit stop.The prices are very reasonable for a night of family entertainment.The waiting line can be long, so make sure you take some hot chocolate, snacks and maybe something to entertain the kiddos along with a little patience. When we went the line was continuously moving at a very slow pace, but we did not have to sit still for very long.It is definitely worth the wait!!!Merry Christmas to all and have a good night at the land of Lights in Athens Texas!!!P. S. Where is Waldo???

The steep hill in the middle catches your attention, and the lighted scenes change theme nearly every 30yds at some points. However, some segments of the place have a generally smaller and older feel, so unless you have a packed car or perhaps live close by, the trip buck may exceed the bang. But there ARE lots of lights and unique sets, so dont be overly discouraged, either. I just wish they made provisions to pause along the way without holding up traffic (against the rules).

It was good and my daughter and granddaughter loved it, but it was lacking something. Oh I remember, it didnt have the music coming thru your car radio. Where the lights was set to the beat of the music. Some of the outdoor speakers they had was real scratchee sounding, you couldnt make out the words or the music. It just didnt WOW me, like I thought it would.

So... It got us out of the house... Thats it. I would describe Land of Lights as more of a Lot of Spotlighted Silhouettes. My carload was underwhelmed and bored, expecting more actual Christmas lights that luminesced in intricate twinkling displays to mirror the festive holiday season. Instead, the overhyped Athens attraction offered little more than a random clutter of dimly lit wooden cutouts of cartoon characters that had NOTHING to do with the magic and miracle of Christmas--or even with the winter nights. Yawn.

Tons of lights, reasonably priced! This is a drive thru park. Theres a concession stand if you want a bite to eat or some hot cocoa. The only downfall to this place are the bathrooms... there are only portable bathrooms with no light and of course the smell and no where to wash your hands. I highly suggest going before you get there. The line to get in is usually long, but moves fast. There is one part of the park that its super steep, so make sure you have the power on your vehicle to do it. I gave a 4wd truck, but I did see cars making it up and down the hill, but just be prepared and I definitely do not suggest doing the park if it had recently rained. Mud everywhere and almost impossible to make it up and down that hill without 4wd.

First time and it was super nice. Well worth the money. Fun music and cute pictures.

Loved it! So glad we took the time to stop! Grand daughter loved it!

Grandkids love it every year. You can see the hard work they put into this. Great inexpensive place to catch the Christmas spirit.

Yearly Tradition! Always wonderful!

I took my grand daughter and we had a great time. It was beautiful.

We go every year! We love it! Santa is the same every year & it makes for fantastic pictures!

My kids and I always look forward to visiting multiple times every holiday season. There is always something new and we love hunting for Waldo!

What a great place to go with the family!

Great place to take the kids. So many different themes. And well ran. Takes quite a while to drive through it.

Lights were great and the people working there were real nice, the people visiting were very rude especially for Christmas time, I guess that is just people now a days.

Friendly people and loved that they actually had live people in costumes. Super fun.

Really enjoy ur park. Made our 2 cnd trip this year. Thank u for having this stuff available for our children

Love to see updated speakers, but its our family ritual

Was amazing had so much fun bring my grandbaby that came to spend Thanksgiving from corpus Christi Texas and as a surprise I thought of this wounderful place my grandbaby and son had so much fun great place to bring the whole family..I would do all over again..

Was a great family event

Enjoy it every year. Worth the trip. Wish the speakers in the park were better. Great place to take kids of all ages.

Went there with my fiance n sister on christmas eve..beautiful n great christmas spirit all around..had fun..

Country atmosphere

Grandkids love it! Hats off to you for creating this magical land!

Its an enjoyable experience. TONS of things to look at in here. And I mean wide variety. If you are looking for elaborate lights displays though this may not be your place. They rely heavily on wooden cutouts over strings and shapes made of lights. Both types are present though. Plenty of different Christmas songs to hear as well. Location seems popular though as the wait to get in was a little long so they are doing something right. Overall fun experience. Bring friends and family and happy holidays!

I loved the wonderful place, well wonderful is a understatement, it WAS my favorite tradition but this year to my surprise it was awful. Have you ever driven so far it felt like you made it across the world, but when you arrive it was as for nothing, well I just experienced that. On its website and poster boards outside it’s gate it states that it closes for the season on January 3rd at 10: o’clock but when we arrived with joy to see the wonderful lights, it was closed with all of the lights off we were there at 9:27. My whole family all 6 of us and cars behind us were willing to pay and enjoy it but it never happened.

Great place to take the family

Without a doubt the best Christmas lights experience never even better than driving through Highland Park in Dallas. It was just sweet darling and wonderful

Had a great time! Lots to see!

Very interesting place, Fits in with the rest of Henderson Co for sure. Pretty random assortment of unlicensed characters and stuff. Everything from wood cutouts to old toys. Highly recommend taking a truck or SUV. Small or low cars will have issues with the rough road.

By far the best drive through light display in east Texas!

Loved the lights display. Something everyone can enjoy from age 1 to 101. Lots of themes throughout and some of the areas even had music inspired lights shows.

Love this place

It was a really nice Christmas light display we drove almost 3 hours to see it and it was worth it

We love it, we go every year to take our grandbabies.

The kids love this place, from hot cocoa to pictures with Santa and enjoying the little park behind him for family pictures, to the fun filled 20-30 minute drive through the lights with so much to see!!

This place gets five stars it was well worth me rididing from ore city tx to go see it its the best ive ever seen the home made cutout are great the arrangements are great love that the hae walls up in a lot of places so your not seeing whats ahead or behind and the the part over by the water took my breath away

Absolutely wonderful park for drive thru with kiddos!

So many lights! And the BEST Santa

We loved it... Thought it totally worth the drive and the price.

Kids love itWe go every year.

Great show of lights. We went just after opening on a friday and the wait wasnt bad at all. Kids loved it and there was even a Santa to have your picture taken with.Hot chocolate was good and reasonably priced. Took us around 30 minutes to get through the lights.

What can I say about this totally Magical wonderland.. (did my review back in Nov 17 when we went but it didnt post..:( ) ***They do accept cards, you just have to park. Go inside the cocoa booth and get cash back..then pay for the drive. I do recommend cash if you dont plan to visit Santa or grab any cocoa or popcorn***This is a beautifully done, well thought and planned drive through Christmas attraction.. I have recommended to anyone who will listen. If you want a family tradition to start or add to your already list of traditions.. Or you are visiting from out of town or state.. I totally think you should visit.I met the owner at the end and he was super sweet.. Boasted about being in business for over 25 yrs and they do it because they love it!!!!! Take some blankets and charge your cameras.. Grab some cocoa and popcorn after you visit Santa..Hop back in your car and roll down the Windows.. Listen, look and take it all in!!! Blessings to all and Will see you next year

Amazing lights, great music, fun time!

This place was beaitiful.Make sure you go early. We were in line a little over 30. We got in line around 7:30. So worth it. One of the best ones Ive ever seen. Well worth the price of admission.

My kids live it

GO! Way better than Santa Land. It was a long wait but it was worth it. Took about an hour to get through the whole thing. So many things to look at. We will be going every year from now on. Don’t forget $20 in cash they don’t accept debit!

It is always so beautiful!

It puts you in the Christmas spirit.

Great place with lots of different displays

My great-granddaughters are 7&4 and said it was the best night ever. You can pay with a credit card for entrance fee and concession food. But youll need cash for a picture with Santa.

Awesome, great experience, well worth the entry fee! We will visit again!

Amazing for the kids and whole family.

Excellent

We took the grandkids again this year and they loved it once more! Our son-in-law and daughter enjoyed it, too. The weather and temperature were perfect.

Awesome to see the kids smile .

Fantastic place, I loved it...!!!

Great family time, lovely lights

Great place lots to see

It is a great place. My family always enjoys it. Only down fall is that they only take cash....no cards. We went on a whim this year and only had enough to go through the lights. Wanted to have the kids picture taken with Santa but we didnt have anymore cash on us. The lights are awesome!

Was amazing. Well worth the price. Santa was in a very good mood and Olaf was adorable. It was our first time there. My kids LOVED it and so did we.

Always enjoyable along with finding all of the Waldos. The speakers could use some work. Some sounded really bad. Otherwise still enjoyable year after year.

My kids love to come here to see Christmas lights and Santa is awesome!

We take our family every year. I love that they add something new each year. My kids look forward to it and getting to see santa while we are there.

We have visited the last 4 years the park has added more lights and attractions every year great place to take your family.

Land of Lights was nice and fun. My family and I enjoy going to there every year.
