Located right in the heart of Greenbrier, this family-friendly attraction features illuminated holiday arches, glowing reindeer sculptures, shimmering swan scenes over the park pond, and a towering musical Christmas tree that dances in sync with classic holiday melodies. Families can walk the paved 3/4-mile illuminated fitness trail while toddlers ride safely in wagons, or visit during special weekend festival nights to enjoy Santa's workshop visits, horse-drawn hayrides around the park perimeter, hot chocolate food trucks, and children's craft stations at the Fun Forest playground. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Entire lighted loop consists of wide, smooth asphalt paths with zero stairs, perfectly suited for jogging strollers, wagons, and wheelchairs. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Park activity building offers heated family restrooms with diaper-changing stations, as well as covered picnic pavilions for resting. • Age Suitability: Ideal for infants in strollers, toddlers running along lit pathways, and families of all generations. • Sensory Tips: Paced walking experience allows families to control their timing; musical displays are balanced at moderate outdoor volume levels. ## Similar picks in Virginia Beach - [BayPort Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach](https://grassyknees.com/virginia-beach/activities/bayport-credit-union-holiday-lights-at-the-beach--listing-b09a684915e59f15efb97425) — Nov 20 – Jan 3 · 5:30 PM – 10:00 PM · Virginia Beach Boardwalk · All ages · From $30 · checked Nov 7.
