We always look forward to going to Candy Cane Lane during the Holiday Festivities. We love to look all the lights and decorations. First we drive through and then later we will walk the park and look at the mechanical Merry go round with the cartoon characters. My daughter loves the mechanical Nutcracker. )there is also a train with more characters that moves forward and then backward. We always love to take our family picture on Santas sleigh and in the gingerbread house. We also love to put our heads through the Santa and snowmen for pictures. All in all Candy Cane Lane is a fun family experience whether you walk the lane or drive through.
It is just beautiful, every year again. It makes everybody feeling like Christmas and creates a fantastic atmosphere. Although it is very frequented sometimes, everybody is relaxed and kind of happy.The short walkaround is perfect for all those kids, since it isnt that long. For a relaxed stroll, including the stopping and taking pictures, you need circa 30 minutes. Its perfect, especially with a cup of hot chocolate and coffee.Of course, you can drive around by car, but I would recommend it. You wont see all those beautiful and sometimes tiny details and the experience would be totally different.Walking with your family, talking, laughing, drinking hot chocolate and making fun with the kids - that is what the experience should be.
Great way to celebrate the holiday season. Beautiful light displays and wooden cut outs of popular characters. Can drive through neighborhood or walk through the lanes. Walking gives the option of great picture opps including a wooden sleigh to hop into! Reminds me of my childhood candy cane lane.
Totally worth the schlep from Salinas. Grew up here all my life and NEVER HEARD OF Candy Cane lane. Wish I knew about it when my daughter was younger but it was a good time.
Ive been coming here since I was a kid, and now Im 21 with my own child and I also bring them here. Its a great place to walk with your friends and family and get some family time in. All the houses are decorated nicely and most are decorated with many wooden man made decorations in the yard. Its one of my favorite things to visit in the winter time!
The lights were fun to look at. My 18 month old had fun. Parking was limited and street lighting was minimal.
Back in the 2010-2013 that time. The decorations of the houses were made and they gained a lot of attention and it was great. Kid me was jumping out of his seat when we went. Now in recent years it is just sad to go. Not a lot of houses are decorated
Lovely neighborhood and a must see place at Christmas season
Great place to walk around before x mas. Lots of lights, dress warm and wear comfortable shoes.
Have been coming for 3 yrs already is really nice my kids like seeing all the lights.
Great place to go to see Christmas Lights, seems like every year there’s less and less people putting up Christmas Lights. But it’s a amazing place to go and see.
I always make an annual pilgrimage to this beautiful, festive location. It wouldnt be Christmas without a trip to Candy Cane Lane.
Its lovely during x-mas as they light up the streets with lots of holiday spirit. Great place for sightseeing and taking photos. Also good place to visit during halloween. As the houses line up with lights and adorn houses with spooky effects.
Great for the whole family and today was my 50th birthday, so it was even more special.
My first time...its was amazing and a good walk. Expect to walk around for about an hour.
Candy Cane Lane provides a nice walk for taking in creative light displays erected on each property. LOTS of cartoon characters in holiday apparel and plenty of lights. Theres center park -- children and families gather for pictures with holiday-lit colors, props, etc.My wife and I enjoyed around an hour+ walking and talking and smiling.
Great decorations! I would love if they add music in the future!!!
Very nice walk in a decorated neighborhood. Have lightreflective clothes and flashlights as some parts of the walk are quite dark.
A fun time for the family whether you walk or drive it the little ones are sure to have a blast seeing all the different displays. We went the week after Christmas and most of the houses still had their lights and displays on. If youre on the coast for Christmas and youve got the little ones stop by for a great time.
Thus was the first year for the fam bam went to PG for Halloween 2019, and i must say it was lit . lots of friendliness, beautiful houses well done PG
Just a bit tight for cars to go in and vehicles parked on both sides. Great sightseeing for family with kids.
Nice place to visit with kids they will love it
Family fun! Children Will enjoy It!
Love this place kids had lots of fun
Great old neighborhood feel. Nothing overdone. The kids had a great time doing the cutouts for pictures. Reminds me of going there 30 odd years ago.
Amazing as always I go every year Christmas and Halloween
I think it used to be better 10yrs ago
45 years in attendance each Saturday before Christmas. Its a family tradition.
Stopped by for our daily Christmas visit to Candy Cane Lane. Some of the house have incredible displays while others have kind of just thrown some lawn ornaments on the ground. Sadly, this might be the last year for the large Toy Soldier robot. The owners recently passed away and the house is now up for sale.
Very fun and great walk for the kids to have fun for xmas attraction. Would recommend to visit
Family fun tradition for the holidays.
Very fun attraction for the whole family!! Dress warm and go walking from house to house looking at all the Christmas Decorations.
Family friendly, child friendly, felt very safe. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Best place to check out around Christmas season.
Great Christmas event if you are in the area
So fun. Decorations are beautiful and the atmosphere festive and safe. Bless these families for providing This wonderful experience.
Been coming here since I was a kid brought my kids and now they will bring their kids
Not as elaborate as when I was a kid but still something I love taking my kids to
Nice variety of holiday decorations. This neighborhood goes all in. I plan at least one visit each year. There is everything from Elvis to Harry Potter. Plus of course the more traditional themes.
This whole neighborhood goes all out for Christmas decorations. One of the best in the country and easy to walk around.

Need new decorations! I know their expensive but have been going since I was little and have seen the same ones every year. Just a suggestion...
Whimsical, friendly, a little bit of fantasy
Nice effort by this neighborhood to present fun child centered themes for decorated houses and park. Worth the drive if you live locally.
Great Christmas lighting NEVER been there before.
A cute little neighborhood that is nice to walk with your family with a warm cup of coffee or hot coco for Christmas. The cars driving threw just need to be a little more cautious about the people walking around.
The decoration was fabulous,everyine was in the christmas spirit!
Absolutely wonderful.
Nice Christmas decorations
Excellent trick or treating. Starts at around 4pm for the little ones and is busy but polite.
Since I was 7 I have been coming to Candy Cane Lane and Its a Wonderful treat for children now as an adult i can see the lacking of whats going on but I feel this community of people need more support to keep this tradition alive from PG&E and the City
Great for holiday season. Park and stroll around with the kids
We love to check out the Christmas lights during holiday season. A must see if youre in town with children
Great place to take the kids to see Xmas decorations
Dont know if its too early. It used to be more lively but always nice to see
