Holiday fun’s just about everywhere we look in Missouri. Those of us who love Christmastime will definitely find enough fun activities and events to keep our seasonal calendar jam-packed. The one-mile Celebration of Lights in Missouri, for example, promises an enchanting evening that you’ll remember all year long.
The Celebration of Lights in O’Fallon welcomes visitors to explore the one-mile path of twinkling lights from November 27 through December 30, 2020.

Pile the whole family into the car for a one-of-a-kind Christmas adventure through the park. If you prefer letting someone else drive, reserve a horse-drawn carriage ride instead.

Horse-drawn carriages seat between six and 12 guests with rides lasting approximately half an hour. Those 30 minutes allow for the ride through the Celebration of Lights and for taking photos.

Sleigh rides through the lights are also available on select evenings. For another unique experience, reserve a spot aboard a 20-minute train ride through the park. Train rides are only offered on November 30.
