How long can I expect the drive-through to take?
Time spent driving through the light show completely depends on the flow of traffic. The course is 1/2 mile long with 2,500,000+ lights. We recommend vehicles go through the drive-thru and then park in the observation lot afterwards to enjoy the full program, however vehicles can also drive the course as many times as they’d like.
Do I need to make a reservation?
Yes. Tickets must be purchased online before your visit. Sever’s Holiday Lights is an in-demand seasonal event, so we highly recommend purchasing as early as possible. You can buy tickets for peak dates (Fridays and Saturdays as well as 12/16-12/23) or non-peak dates (most Sundays and weekdays). When you buy tickets, you must select an hour-long time slot (5PM-9PM on Sundays and weekdays, 5PM-10PM on weekends and the week of Christmas). You are free to arrive any time within your chosen time slot, and if you are running a little late (or early) for your time slot, you do not need to let us know––we’re happy to be flexible.
What vehicles can fit through the drive-thru?
Any vehicle or bus smaller than 30 feet long and less than 10.5 feet tall will fit through our drive-thru. Please note, small party buses and shuttle buses are less than 30 feet long on average. Limos could have difficulty on the course, and we don’t recommend them unless the driver/company is experienced with our event.
