About this adventure

Diggerland USA, the construction-themed amusement and water park in West Berlin, turns its grounds into a drive-through holiday light show each winter. Families stay in their own car and follow a course of more than 1.5 miles through the park past millions of lights, 40-plus silhouette displays and scenes, more than 450 feet of light tunnels and about 35 lit-up construction and emergency vehicles, while the park's own radio station plays holiday music through the car speakers. It is a good pick for families with babies, toddlers or children who tire easily, since nobody has to walk or stand in the cold, and young fans of diggers and fire trucks get to see the machines dressed up for the season. Rides and attractions are closed during the show and guests may not leave their vehicles, though the main restrooms by the bus lot are open and the Fork Lift Cafe sells treats. Cars, trucks and SUVs up to 11 feet high, about 6.5–7 feet wide and 20 feet long can drive the course; buses, RVs, motorcycles and anything towing are not allowed. Daily capacity is limited, so the park recommends buying online for a chosen date; gate sales get lower priority. The show generally runs in light rain or snow and closes for heavy precipitation or lightning.
