About this adventure

Empire Polo Club in Indio—world-famous home of the Coachella music festival—transforms into a radiant winter spectacle for Magic of Lights. This immersive two-mile drive-through light experience utilizes cutting-edge LED and digital animation technology to display towering holiday scenes, including the 12 Days of Christmas, Winter Wonderland, prehistoric Christmas dinosaurs, and the signature 200-foot Blizzard Light Tunnel. Families can enjoy the complete holiday showcase without leaving the heated comfort of their personal vehicle, tuning their car radio to a synchronized holiday soundtrack as they cruise slowly through the grounds. It is an ideal, low-stress holiday outing for babies, toddlers, and grandparents alike. One carload ticket admits everyone safely buckled in your vehicle.
