Here you'll be able to wander through the park to see 21 dazzling themed light displays that will get you in the holiday spirit.

Guests are welcome to explore the sights on foot, and you can even bring your dog.

But if you would rather stay warm in your vehicle, you can view all the lights by driving on Lakeshore Road.
