## About

Now in its fourth decade, the Marble Falls Walkway of Lights is one of the most beloved free holiday attractions in the Texas Hill Country. Over 2 million sparkling lights and more than 350 illuminated holiday sculptures line the waterfront of Lake Marble Falls inside Lakeside Park. The 30-minute self-guided walking trail takes visitors through sparkling arches, past animated nativity scenes, toy soldiers, leaping dolphins, and an enormous 40-foot Christmas tree that mirrors perfectly on the lake's surface. Santa Claus makes weekend appearances inside his lakeside cottage, where volunteer elves welcome children with warm smiles and candy canes.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The entire walkway is paved with smooth asphalt and concrete, ensuring easy rolling for single strollers, double strollers, wagons, and wheelchairs.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Lakeside Park features permanent heated restrooms with diaper changing stations, as well as benches positioned along the waterfront path.
• Age Suitability: Suitable for all ages, from sleeping infants bundled in strollers to energetic toddlers and grandparents.
• Sensory Tips: Gentle instrumental holiday music plays from speakers along the trail. The absence of intense flashing strobe effects makes this display particularly welcoming for sensory-sensitive visitors.
