Drive-thru light shows provide safe holiday traditions around Houston
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- You can celebrate the holidays with several merry and bright options around Houston, while staying safely distant.
Light Park at Hurricane Harbor Splashtown in Spring
The Light Park at Hurricane Harbor Splashtown in Spring offers up a mile-long trail with over a million animated lights. That's about a 20-minute drive! They also claim to have the world's largest 700-foot LED tunnel.
The entire show is synched and choreographed to holiday music you can enjoy from the comfort of your car. Co-owner Jasen Coots says this is something they've always wanted to do.
"The pandemic was ticking up, a lot of people with scares. We really wanted them to come out and feel safe in their car with their family. They don't have to exchange anything, stay in the car," Coots said. "Just stay in the car and feel good about it."
The Light Park is open now through Dec. 31, 2020 from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are $35 per vehicle and you can take advantage of 'Two for Tuesdays' where you can ride through the lightshow twice for the same cost.
