With a baby or a sleepy toddler, a drive-thru is easiest: they stay buckled in and warm. One of the 4 displays can be driven: Rhema Christmas Lights. Walk-throughs (four here) are better for kids who want to run around.
The earliest evening starts: Botanic Garden of Lights at 5 p.m., Woolaroc's Wonderland of Lights at 5 p.m. and Rhema Christmas Lights at 5:30 p.m. The first hour after opening is the easiest with an early bedtime.
Little ones get in free at Botanic Garden of Lights (2 and under free but need a $0 ticket); Woolaroc's Wonderland of Lights (free for members and 3 and under). With a baby, a drive-thru keeps everyone warm in the car.
Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page, and links to it. We list dates, times and prices only when that page shows them for 2026; anything without posted dates goes in “Dates not posted yet” instead. These were last checked Oct 19, 2026, and we recheck them in early November and again in early December. How we choose and check.
