The dazzling lights are displayed along a mile-long trail, which you can navigate from the comfort (and warmth) of your own car.

Like something from a Hallmark movie, the winding trail is lined with glowing festive scenes and animated figures.

There are also miniature versions of Prairieville and old-time Waukesha.

The highlight of the trail, though, is a 200’ tunnel made up of 30,000 computerized pulsating lights!

At the end of the trail, you’ll find Christmas Village. The indoor village features an amazing model train display with six trains and four different levels! The village also has a concession stand where you can purchase refreshments.

Also located at the end of the trail, The Streets of Bethlehem is an indoor display that includes a nearly life-size nativity display, which is a replica of the one at the Vatican.
