About this adventure

Kansas City's premier modern drive-through holiday light spectacular, Winter Magic, illuminates the winding wooded parkways of historic Swope Park with over a mile of dazzling LED artistry. Families experience the entire show from the cozy warmth of their personal vehicle, tuning their FM car radio to synchronized upbeat holiday music. Highlights along the drive include the longest drive-through animated light tunnel in the Midwest, soaring 40-foot RGB pixel trees, dancing candy cane forests, playful woodland creatures, animated gingerbread houses, and radiant snowburst arches spanning overhead.

It provides an ideal outing for cold winter nights or families with restless little ones.
