Phipps Conservatory Night Garden in Pennsylvania December 12, 2020 Beth Price-Williams What are the best drive-thru light shows in Pennsylvania? You’ll find some of the best Christmas light displays in Pennsylvania in its lesser known towns. Clinton, just outside of Pittsburgh, for example, hosts the annual Celebration of Lights drive-thru light display. The one-mile light display will dazzle you and leave you embracing the Christmas spirit. Admission fees, in fact, benefit local charities. Shady Brook Farm in Yardley, on the other hand, shimmers with more than three million lights. Meander slowly along the two-mile path, or climb aboard an open-air wagon for a relaxing ride. Following your drive through, you can stop by the Farm Market, where you can meet Santa, sip a cup of hot chocolate, or pick out your Christmas tree. What are the best holiday events in Pennsylvania? You’ll find a ton of holiday events in Pennsylvania, including Christmas lights displays. Rocky Ridge County Park in York, for example, has hosted a magical holiday lights trail for more than three decades. Stroll through Christmas Magic, which is dotted with thousands of twinkling lights along the half-mile trail. It’s also ADA-accessible. For another unforgettable holiday event, drive through 1,200 acres at Hershey Sweet Lights, which boasts 600 holiday light displays, before heading into the park for an evening of fun, rides, and goodies at Christmas Candylane. (However, you’ll need advance reservations for your adventure to Hershey.) Can I take a sleigh ride in Pennsylvania in the winter? Add Bethlehem to your list of must visit destinations. During December it features one of the most enchanting outdoor Christmas events in Pennsylvania – a horse-drawn carriage ride through the twinkling town. You’ll get to see the town as it’s awash in Christmas lights and glittering against the darkened nighttime sky. If you prefer an old-fashioned sleigh ride, plan a visit to Seven Springs Mountain Resort. You can reserve a private sleigh ride through the snowy resort during the wintertime. Sleigh rides last for a half an hour and are weather-permitting. A sleigh ride is the perfect way to celebrate winter.
