This was a fun little outing for the Christmas season. I don’t think that I would pay the full $ 14, but it’s worth the money on the half price nights. We paid $ 7 for our car of three people. The drive was about 20 minutes long and the displays were fun– there were a lot of blinking and«moving» displays, which our toddler liked. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a single religious display, but I guess I’m not too surprised. I’m not sure if this will become a tradition for our family(I would recommend ZooLights over this) but it was a nice little trip for Christmas time!

Come with a lot of patience — people can be such jerks! They need to hire traffic enforcement!!! People can really be a**holes. It is Christmas time and our family was totally in the Christmas spirit as we drove up from Olympia to see the lights. We were listening to Christmas music — totally feeling the Christmas love. We went up on a Sunday evening around 7. We sat in line for an hour and a half — NOEXAGGERATION. Why? Because people cut the line and would drive up the road, do a u turn and then cut the line, or drive up past the long line, take a side road and turn right into the line from C Street. It was really unbelievable that humans can suck so bad. Your kids are more important than ours? Your time is more important than ours? The line would have taken 20 minutes at most if it weren’t for these low lifes who couldn’t wait their turn. My favorite part of the night was when a woman yelled at a worker«Ima gonna punch yo mother effin face in if you done dont let us go next». Wow. Keep it classy Tacoma. For as much as Spanaway parks charges for admission, THEYREALLYNEEDTOHIRESOMELAWENFORCEMENTTOREINFORCETRAFFICLAWSANDKEEPTHINGSMOVINGSMOOTHLYOUTSIDEOFTHEPARK. I can’t believe there wasn’t a shooting based on how people were acting. It was horrid. By the time we got into the park, my kids had to use the bathroom. While we were in the last area before paying we got out to use the ONEPORTAPOTTY they had for hundreds of people. Seriously??? The lights were great, my 5 year old was clearly enchanted with it all. Would we come back? No. Not unless they pay for law enforcement outside the park. Merry Christmas.

I would recommend this more for little children! Driving through to see all the Pretty lights with Christmas music & hot coco is the best! However, it is very short & a fair amount of lights. Defiantly something you have to do at least once in your lifetime. It is a family fun event!

The normal fee to experience Fantasy Lights is $ 14 as of December 2015. Apparently there is a small, very limited time when you can see the lights at half price so we timed it and went in for $ 7 per car. The light show is spectacular and has a variety of lighted concepts from different scenarios with Santa Claus to Space Aliens and lighted insects. There are arched displays of lights that you drive under which is especially fun! The drive takes about 30 minutes to go through and the lines from what I am told are almost always quite long to get in. Going off of these older Unilocal pictures and talking to people who have been here in years past the theme and the lighted attractions stay about the same. Not that it isn’t worth going back to see the lights again but what you see sounds like it pretty much stays the same. We definitely felt we got our money’s worth with the half price fee but it would still be worth while at full price too!

We have made this an annual family outing for 20 years. They do a nice job of maintaining displays and growing their offering over time. I prefer walking over driving, but that is only available 1x per year. The kids, young and old, love it!

This was our second year going to the Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Lake. My entire family enjoyed seeing all the different light displays. I felt like they had more displays last year but regardless, it was enjoyable. My 6 year old son’s favorite were the dinosaur lights. I personally loved the lanterns hanging from the trees. They were beautiful! The costs to drive thru to see the lights is $ 14 per car. They do offer half off on a few nights as well. I think those nights land during the week, but not 100% sure. Lights are open from 530−9pm. I like to arrive closer towards when they first open so there aren’t too many cars. We got there at 6pm and there weren’t too many cars, which was great. I’m sure the closer it gets to Christmas and the later in the evening the more traffic you will get. So I suggest getting there early. But all in all, I think Fantasy Lights is a great way to get into the holiday spirit with your family. We plan on going yearly, especially since we live down the street from the lake. Fun entertainment for the entire family.

It seemed like there were fewer lights and more cars/wait time this year. Some of our favorite displays were either changed to no longer move or gone completely. And please turn your headlights off to avoid blinding others. On our way out I tried to be helpful and tell an incoming vehicle they still had their lights on, and in return I got«shut the f*** up b****» which I really didn’t appreciate while our suv was full of kids. The car behind them had headlight covers on so it wasn’t like they had run out. Overall it was a very disappointing visit.

Traffic gets crazy even on «walk through» nights. It’s a cheap form of entertainment for the holidays though, so worth the money especially for kids! Lots of snack/drink vendors on the way in and portapotties at the entrance, a grand total of two, complete with long lines. Bring the camera!
