2020 Drivable Ohio Holiday Lights Trail

Thank you to Ohio. Find It Here. for sponsoring today’s post! As always, all opinions are my own.

This holiday season inevitably looks a bit different this year but when we discovered Ohio. Find It Here.’s fantastic map of drivable holiday lights, we were thrilled that we could still safely partake in holiday lights festivities with the girls!

You can find out more information about Ohio’s drivable lights here + be sure to scroll down to find out where we went!

We visited Hebron’s spectacular WonderLights Christmas show! Held at the National Trail Raceway, WonderLights is Central Ohio’s largest drive-through Christmas light show with over 1 million LED lights synchronized to the radio station, 88.3! You will want to tune your station in when you arrive because the lights truly move to the beat of their Christmas music!

We surprised the girls after work one day with a mini scavenger hunt with clues of where we were going. It was so fun and they really were so excited!

In terms of safety, they had two main areas where did interact with the WonderLight’s employees: A hot chocolate and cookies booth, which we definitely couldn’t pass up, and the booths where we paid for our tickets. During both interactions, we noticed all employees were wearing masks and we were able to quickly pay with our credit card and be on our way. You can also purchase tickets online if you’d like.

They had so many colorful lights throughout the drive and there was always something to look at! One of the first things we saw upon entering the show was a massively lit tree!

The dazzling lights were constantly flashing, changing color, or moving in some way! The girls loved it and were more than entertained the entire time. It’s been fun to look back at the videos I took and listen to our comments 🙂

I loved keeping the windows down to enjoy the whole experience but the girls weren’t so into that, so we rolled them up. 🙂 The entire drive took about 25 minutes and while the entire show is magical, the light tunnels were our very favorites!

I found it’s difficult to capture WonderLights via photos because it truly is an EXPERIENCE! Which is why I put together a video for you! Enjoy! Have you ever been?
