“Let It Glow” Light Show

Discovery Park Of America is excited to have back the popular “Let It Glow” Light Show that is held each year during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season. The drive-through light show allows friends and families to meander through the 50-acre heritage park, never leaving their vehicles, as they experience more than a million twinkling lights synced to the beats of popular Christmas songs. Guests get a unique look at a Titan Missile, the outside of the 199-foot-tall Discovery Center museum, an authentic Settlement of mid-1830s log cabins and more, all decorated for Christmas and enhanced with various vignettes of popular and traditional holiday scenes.
Even though many of the favorite scenes are repeated each year, guests can always count on surprises.
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at Discovery Park” has been added on Tues., Dec. 22, 2020, 1 – 4 p.m. Like the light show, “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at Discovery Park” is an event you can enjoy without ever leaving your vehicle. Guests will drive through the park, stopping along the way to enjoy a series of live performances as the guests read the story aloud. Inspired by the well-known Christmas poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore, the experience has been created to inspire a love of reading in a fun and unique way while providing an excellent beginning to Christmas celebrations.
Although Discovery Park’s museum is closed on Tuesdays, Sabin’s Café and the Discovery Park Gift Shop will be open from noon to 5 p.m. that day, so guests can purchase a cup of hot cocoa or other refreshments and shop until the “Let it Glow” light show begins at 5 p.m. The Gift Shop has hundreds of unique gift items in stock, as well as locally made soaps, candles and mustard.
The drive-through “Let It Glow” Light Show is open 5-9 p.m., Nov. 13 – Dec. 30, 2020, closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Although Discovery Park closes at 4 p.m., the Gift Shop and Sabin’s Café will remain open until 5 p.m. Fri. – Sunday.
 
“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at Discovery Park” is $10 per car and is on Tues., Dec. 22, 2020, 1 – 4 p.m.
