## About

WonderLight's Christmas bills itself as the St. Louis area's largest drive-through Christmas light show: more than a million LED lights along the course at World Wide Technology Raceway, synchronized to a soundtrack of traditional and newer, rock-style Christmas music that plays through your own car radio on 89.5 FM. The full song selection lasts about 45 minutes, and families stay in the car the whole way, rolling at 2 to 5 mph with headlights off, which makes it workable for babies in car seats and toddlers in pajamas. Pets may ride along inside the vehicle. Portable toilets are available before the entrance and at the exit. The show opens nightly through the holidays, including Christmas and New Year's, and runs rain, shine or snow.
