Life University

Each holiday season Life University turns its Marietta campus into Lights of Life, a mostly drive-through display of more than a million lights with whimsical scenes and illuminated tunnels. In 2026 it runs every day from Thanksgiving, November 26, through New Year's Eve, December 31, including holidays. The lights come on at sunset, about 5:30 p.m., and stay on until roughly 9 or 10 p.m. depending on the night. Admission is a flat $15 per car or truck and $30 per bus, paid at the entrance with cash or a major card; no advance tickets are needed. In designated areas visitors can park and walk: carnival rides, train rides and a petting zoo are available for a small extra fee, and local vendors sell snacks and treats. It runs rain or shine unless severe weather makes it unsafe, and the university posts weather updates on its social media.
