Since 1991, local groups and businesses have each designed and paid for their own scene in this drive-through display, and the route winds through Fort Zumwalt Park past all of them.
Families can also see it from a heated, decorated trolley playing holiday music, a hay-filled wagon or the city train, all by reservation.
Parent tip: Buy the drive-through ticket online before you go, since it is advance only, and then use it on almost any night. Trolley rides fill fast, so reserve at least two weeks ahead.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
