About this adventure
Set inside the scenic woodlands of Alum Creek State Park Campgrounds in Delaware County, Butch Bando's Fantasy of Lights is Central Ohio's premier family-owned drive-through holiday light spectacular. Spanning nearly three miles of winding park roads, this festive experience immerses passengers in hundreds of brilliant LED light displays, glowing archways, animated woodland creatures, and whimsical holiday vignettes. Families tune their car radios to a dedicated FM broadcast station to enjoy synchronised holiday carols as they roll through the shimmering wonderland from the cozy comfort of their own vehicles. Children can bring handwritten letters to Santa Claus to drop into Mrs. Claus's official North Pole mailbox at the ticket gate, complete with return addresses for personalized holiday responses. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Drive-through experience enjoyed entirely inside your family vehicle; no walking or stroller maneuvering needed. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Portable and heated family restrooms are accessible at the entrance staging area prior to entering the light route. • Age Suitability: Wonderful for all ages, particularly families with newborns, toddlers, or grandparents who prefer staying warm indoors. • Sensory Tips: Excellent low-stress option for sensory-sensitive children, as parents have complete control over vehicle warmth, sound volume, and pace.
