  • Nature in Lights Includes more than 5 1/2 miles of displays. Stop at Santa’s Village for snacks, arts & crafts vendors, and pictures with Santa.
    The Christmas Light display was an awesome sight. The many exibits were spectacular, and beautifully arranged around the Lake. This was a wonderful experience for me.. and I was very fortunate to be able to see this in late November, just before my return to Australia.

    Things To Do: Nature in Lights..cont..
  • Tip Rating:
  • Another display that was definitely worth taking a photo of... though I must say that my camera did not do it justice. I should have had my digital camera at that time, for some really good shots.
