Widmer World

My wife had always heard of this place but this was the first time visiting. I never heard of this place but now I do! These two families go all out in their decorating and making a "Christmas World" for all to enjoy! It gets pretty crowded so it is recommended to park in the neighborhood away from the court and walk in. Otherwise you will be blocked in. LOL. They have many themed displays like train sets, Barbie, Disney, Santa, Peanuts, reindeer, etc. It's fun and neat to see all they've amassed and created, built. They even have a "fake snow" maker.You have to take your family, loved ones to experience this!

Disclaimer: didn't go inside, only parked and walked around to take photos outside.Widmer world is a christmas themed light display which is fun to check out with friends or family!Getting there, parking was surprisingly easy as we were able to park about a block away with not too many issues. The outside was super impressive, and my group enjoyed taking photos out front! We thought about going inside, but to do so we would have to line up in a huge line which didn't seem to be moving very fast. I'm guessing it would take quite a while, so we didn't think it would be worth the wait.I would definitely reccomend any locals to check it out at least once though!

This is the BEST Christmas lights display in Pleasanton!I come here with my family annually when the weather permits. You can find out if they're opened or closed by going to their facebook page. If it's raining that evening, they may close it.This is not your typical Christmas light display where you drive by and look. There's a line to see all the displays in their backyard. This family has opened their homes to share the magic of Christmas! There's quite a bit in the back and it's such a HIT with the kids with the roller coasters, fun displays, stuffies, trees, etc. I am always amazed with what they have built and created, it really is spreading the holiday cheer. It can get pretty crowded when you come here when they open around 6pm and even more crowded on the weekends. Parking is street parking. Although it is busy, we are able to get street parking nearby and walk. We prefer to come on the weekday after dinner as the crowd isn't as crazy as earlier. I highly recommend anyone to check this out! It's truly the best!!

What an absolutely fun, holiday experience. You start with the beautiful decorations in the front of the house, then you enter a holiday world filled with every type of collections, motorized trains sets, and a roller coaster built with Technics. So much compacted into an acre property. Everything you can imaging in a Christmas theme. The family was there to tell us all about how their collection blossomed and grew into what they have now. It was a real treat! They do close if it rains (due to all the electrical outlets and wires) but worth the drive out to Pleasanton.

The Widmer family do a wonderful job helping spread holiday cheer and wonder with amazing displays and collections that are vast and magical. Just as a recommendation, make sure to bring bring plenty of coins to throw in some of the displays to make a donation... You can imagine the utility cost!

We go to check Christmas lights every year at Widmer. Not only lights kids can treasure hunt and check out the amazing collection of toys, trains, Santa and lot more. You can donate using venmo to support this event every year.

A local favorite for Christmas lights. A huge thank you to the homeowners for their generosity in creating this for everyone to enjoy! If you're looking for a magical and free way to celebrate the season, this light display is a must-see. Don't forget to check out their donation box or support their efforts in any way you can, they truly deserve it.

Brohhhhhh, you guyssss, this is a MUST visit when in Pleasanton during the holidays. Talk about sparking joy! It's a treasure trove of memories, I'm sure, for the family that decided to do this from the start. As you walk though, both sides of the pathway trigger will likely trigger childhood memories and definitely make present time memories with your own family. We were there for almost an hour just enjoying the lights and displays. There are donation boxes at the entrance and exit - do it.

Free entry and a wonderful Christmas decoration. Good place for visiting with family.

Words cannot describe it all! Go see it! Well worth the trip. Mind boggling! Fun!! How do the set it up and take it down!!
