Holiday Light Festival With Texas-Sized Lanterns: Magical Winter Lights

Magical Winter Lights is back for its 10th year, and they’re celebrating big with the addition of nightly acrobatic shows to accompany the glowing landscape. This larger-than-life light festival has quickly become one of our favorite ways to ring in the holiday season! We entered and were met with breathtaking lantern displays, festive activities, and a contagious holiday spirit.

We were blown away by the eight themed displays, each featuring millions of lights and enormous lantern masterpieces. Crafted using traditional Chinese lantern-making techniques, these lanterns are pieces of art that can’t be experienced anywhere else. We especially loved how each area had its own theme, with opportunities to snap plenty of memorable photos.

But it’s not just about the lights here, make sure you stop by the nightly acrobatic shows! And if the little ones have energy that needs to be burned, you can head to the carnival area where they have rides and games. When it came time to refuel, the food court was ready with everything from classic fair food to delicious seasonal treats!

The best part? Parking is free, so you don’t have to stress about another fee.

We loved every minute of our time at Magical Winter Lights. Tickets are $27 for adults and $19 for kids and seniors. Take a look at the gorgeous lanterns for yourself, you might find a new family tradition!
