Magic of Lights Columbus

Thought this new display of holiday lights at the Historic Crew Stadium was a complete waste. The price is $22 per car (up to 3 row SUV) and more for bigger vehicles. I was able to get it for $15 for a special buy early on. Unfortunately, it still was not worth the drive/money. The lights were very spaced out, making it obvious that there was not really much to enjoy. We were done with it in 10 minutes. Also, they had no holiday music set up to go with the displays. If wanting to spend money for a drive thru display, I would suggest Butch Bando's Fantasy of Lights instead since they have several LED displays that go along with music.

This is a great new light display in the Columbus area, and it's nice to that it is both reusing the space near Historic Crew Stadium and it is located in an area of town that didn't already have a light show. We figured that, like most light shows, it would probably pick up on traffic closer to the holidays and once schools are out on break, so we opted for a weekday prior to either of those, and so we were able to drive right in. I had purchased our ticket in advance online, and it was a quick ticket scan and off we went. Both the friendly staff and the signage at the entrance directed us to 88.9 on the radio for the festive holiday music to accompany our light journey. Notable light sights included two light tunnels, a prehistoric Christmas section showcasing dinosaurs, an international Christmas/holiday display, 12 Days of Christmas, a towering waving Barbie with a Santa hat on, a very impressive monster truck, and a variety of great Santa Clauses participating in delivering gifts, going down chimneys, and relaxing on vacation. Signage indicates that you should maintain 5 mph speed throughout the display, and it took us about 20 minutes. We enjoyed checking out what Magic of Lights had to offer!

My daughter and I love Christmas lights, and the magic of lights in Columbus did not disappoint! We went on the last day that it was opened, and it was the perfect time, because there was not a line, and we were able to drive through the lights at a slow speed and enjoy everything! I am rating the experience four stars because the address on our ticket was not the correct address for the entrance and it did take some driving around before we were able to locate the entrance. I even tried googling to find the correct address, and all search results brought me back to the incorrect address that was on our ticket.
