A walk-through show, not a drive-by.
Tempe has its own December traditions, but a walk-through light show is a different night out. You park, walk through, and stay as long as you like, with the lights set to classic holiday music.
It also works for groups: families, friends visiting from out of town, and ASU students home for the holidays. The route is flat, the evening is about an hour, and there is hot cocoa and snacks on site.
