Tips & Advice
- Pack the whole family into one car, because admission is charged per vehicle rather than per person.
- Plan your visit for a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, since those are the only nights Nights of Lights is open during its run.
- Keep the brochure you're given at the entrance, since it's full of sponsors' holiday wishes and local business ads.
- If you want to decorate a campsite, email the Friends of Mounds early, because current-season decorators get priority for the free reservations.
