About this adventure

Magic of Lights is a drive-through holiday light show that winds through Viking Lakes in Eagan, the Minnesota Vikings' campus. Families stay in their own car and follow a lit path of holiday scenes and characters built with LED displays and digital animations, so it works for babies asleep in car seats, toddlers who would not last on a long walking trail, and grandparents alike. One ticket covers one carload. After the drive, the same site runs Winter SKOLstice, a small holiday village with ice skating, a warming haus and food and drinks, if you want to get out and stretch. Plan for the drive to take a while on busy weekend nights and bring snacks and a holiday playlist; weekday (Monday-Thursday) tickets cost less than any-day tickets, and a November-only ticket is the cheapest option of the season.
