Galaxy FAQ
What is the Galaxy of Lights?
It's millions of lights that Clark Griswold only hopes to aspire to at Christmas. The Galaxy of Lights is two and a half miles of Rocket City engineering at its best.
This project that was started in 1996 has grown to feature more than 200 light displays and immersive holiday experiences. You can see everything from the twelve days of Christmas and butterflies to dinosaurs and traditional holiday sights like Santa and snowmen. Plus, during Walking Nights, you’ll explore dazzling scenes that surround you with lights, lasers, and even (artificial) snow! No matter how cold it is, walking or driving nights let you leave with a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Tips and Tricks
- Grab dinner before or bring it along with you in the car (or pack drinks/snacks).
- Be Early - For the best experience at Galaxy of Lights Driving Nights, this family highly recommends going early in the season. If you plan on walking during Walking Nights, you should get your tickets in advance to guarantee admission. If you prefer to drive try to go in early December on a weeknight, and be sure to arrive right at opening time or a little before! This will help you to avoid long lines. Here are a few other tips we have gathered along the way:
- Make sure all your car windows are clean - you don’t want to obstruct the view.
- Everyone should take a potty break before going to Galaxy.
- Pups in the car are welcome, but Fido won’t be able to get out during the drive. Only on the designated Dog Walking nights can your furry friends enjoy the lights on their own four feet.
- Wear comfortable shoes if attending a Walking Night. Two and a half miles of dazzling displays await you.
- Make sure your headlights are off so everyone in front of you can enjoy the lights.
- Carpool! Get the most for your money - Galaxy charges per car.
- Clean your camera lens - a dirty lens can cause those light flares in photos.
- Thank every person you see, many of them are completely volunteering their time in the cold.
- Tell all your friends and family to come out to this magical event.
