## About

Celebrate Wisconsin's largest outdoor drive-through holiday light spectacular at The Ingleside Hotel in Pewaukee. Country Christmas guides families along a mile-long wooded trail illuminated by more than one million dazzling holiday lights. Guests marvel at animated displays including Bearville, the 200-foot computerized tunnel of 30,000 synchronized lights, and larger-than-life woodland critters. After driving the trail, park and head inside the heated Christmas Village. Children can watch an operating model train display chugging through miniature snow-capped alpine peaks, enjoy mechanized musical performances by the Rockin' Raccoon Band, mail a postcard at the North Pole Post Office, and browse handmade ornaments. Warm up with fresh cider, hot chocolate, and holiday cookies by the hearth.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The drive-through trail is enjoyed from your own car; Christmas Village exhibits feature flat, fully carpeted, stroller-friendly corridors.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: The Ingleside Hotel convention lobby provides heated family restrooms, nursing chairs, and comfortable seating lounges.
• Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages, from infants tucked warmly in car seats to grandparents.
• Sensory Tips: Drive at your own pace with vehicle windows closed for a peaceful, low-noise sensory experience.
