Miracle at Big Rock

Nestled in the woods of Big Rock Creek, visitors can experience over 25 million twinkling lights on dedicated walk-through or drive-through routes. Guests can roast s'mores around cozy fire pits, slide down sledding hills, see live reindeer, and watch fireworks displays. The grounds also host local food trucks, live music, festive cocktails, and artisan shopping inside a historic barn.

Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online before October 31 to get early bird pricing. Buying online also means no lines when you arrive.
  • Dress warmly for the weather, and if snow has fallen, bring a small sled to pull little ones on the gravel trails.
  • Leave snacks and drinks at home, because outside food and drinks aren't allowed, though food trucks and drinks are sold throughout the grounds.
  • Pick a Friday walk-through night if you want fireworks, which also go off on New Year's Eve.
  • Book for the exact night you plan to visit, because tickets are only good for that date and allow one entry, though you can arrive after your ticket time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see the lights from my car?

Yes, on drive-through nights. Those are most Mondays and Tuesdays, plus December 2, 3 and 24. All other nights are walk-through only.

Can wheelchairs or scooters use the trails?

Three track chairs are available first come, first served. The roads are hard packed, but snow-packed trails can be hard going for wheelchairs. Drive-through nights let you see the lights from your vehicle.

Are strollers and wagons allowed?

Yes. The gravel trails are groomed for wagons and strollers. After a fresh dusting of snow, a small sled to pull works better.

What food and drinks are there?

Food trucks, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are sold on site, along with vendor shops selling winter items and gifts. Outside food and drinks aren't allowed.

Do Cookies with Santa or the private rentals include entry?

No. Cookies with Santa and the private tents, domes and Clubhouse all need separate entry tickets.
