Guests travel two miles by car and see all sizes and types of trees decorated with lights. The lavish, colorful decorations allow visitors to view creatively illuminated trees and special outdoor displays. A musical soundtrack is available.

I can t even tell you how much I love this. Our pets love Christmas lights just as much as we do. Pet parents can enjoy the Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience for two additional weeks, January 4th, 2021 - January 17th, 2021. Holiday in the Park will operate only until January 3rd, 2021.
The Drive-Thru Experience is extended for the second time. We all love it so much. Holiday in the Park Drive-Thru Experience provides guests the unique opportunity to drive through the 14 acre theme park in their own vehicles.
“Keeping pets warm and dry is important during these cold winter months. If you’re looking for a fun and safe activity that includes the companionship of your beloved pet, the entire family can drive through the theme park together,” said Six Flags Veterinarian Dr. Ken Keiffer.
