Whether you’re looking to brave the cold or view lights from the comfort of your vehicle, the St. Louis area has several places where Christmas light fanatics can visit and fill their cup with holiday cheer. Candy Cane Lane, Tilles Park’s Winter Wonderland and the Wild Lights at the St. Louis Zoo are stunning and unique light displays for those looking for festive, fun activities during the holiday season in St. Louis.
Candy Cane Lane
Located at 6500 Murdoch Ave. in St. Louis, Candy Cane Lane has something for every type of Christmas light viewer to enjoy, as visitors can drive through the street or walk along the street to experience the beauty of the lights. This impressive neighborhood is free to enter and doesn’t cost a dime, unless visitors choose to donate to any of the charities Candy Cane Lane is representing.
Tilles Park’s Winter Wonderland
One of the most highly regarded light displays in the area sits at 9551 Litzsinger Road in St. Louis. Tilles Park’s Winter Wonderland is an exclusively drive-thru park and costs standard vehicles $20 for admission. Tilles Park invites visitors to sync their car radios up with the festive tunes coming from their speakers, making for the ultimate, well-rounded Christmas experience. The park also has a walk-through experience for a limited time each season, but be sure to check on that early in the fall next year to reserve a spot on the walking tour, as it books up quickly.
Wild Lights at the Zoo
The St. Louis Zoo hosts many lovely, seasonally appropriate events throughout the year, including one for the Christmas season: Wild Lights at the Zoo. For between $12 and $18 per person, bundled-up visitors can walk through thousands of lights combined with many animal statues that make for a fun display.
