About this adventure
Drive through nearly two miles of spectacular animated holiday displays featuring over one million LED lights at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds in Dover. Vehicles pass beneath twinkling light tunnels and past Florida-themed scenes including playful dolphins and jumping alligators. Following the drive-through tour, families can explore Santa's Village on foot to roast marshmallows around open fire pits, ride camel rides and holiday carnival rides, and meet farm animals in the holiday petting barn. The village paths are stroller-accessible with clean restrooms.
