If you or your kiddo love lights check this neat event out! We went tonight and LOVED it! We stopped at Starbucks, got a hot cocoa and was warm and toasty looking at lights. www.lightsinthepark.org/A spectacular drive-through holiday light experience! See the NEW holiday light sculptures and animated displays!!! St. Paul’s Phalen Park is transformed into a fantasy of lights and color. More than 50 larger-than-life holiday sculptures and animated displays bring the season to life. 5:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Nightly (including holidays) November 22, 2011 – January 1, 2012 Phalen Park (1615 Phalen Drive) St. Paul, Minnesota $10.00 per vehicle $8.00 value nights, Sunday – Thursday (discount not available on holidays) $15.00 per limo/passenger van/mini bus $30.00 per coach bus Sure to be this year’s favorite, the larger-than-life Enchanted Castle with the handsome prince, beautiful princess, wizard, and of course, a fire-breathing dragon…. All volunteer event. All for charity. SOOO FUN. I know you might say pay to see lights but these are lights you never seen before. Like a frog hopping around (DS favorite) or a skiing santa to name a few! We are going back next week! Thought I would share a fun holiday event and you don't even have to get cold  |

I was thinking about doing it with my mom coming into town this week... It's only a few minutes from where I live!
When you drive around, do you keep your windows open to see better? (stupid question maybe...)
I'm picturing Phalen right now and can't picture where it would be or how long... hmm

Ds wanted his windows open. We kept ours up. I also took pics from inside the car and they turned out great. We went on a fairly busy night so it took about 35 minutes. It is best to go when it is busy so you can take your time looking at all them since they are on both sides of the car, and not have to worry about the person behind you. I wasn't and am not familiar with the area but we took 61 and drive past the exit. We had to go around the lake to get in. There are a few road signs saying Holiday Lights with an arrow. Pretty easy to get to. A few local stores have the cd for purchase which has a free admission ticket inside, we ended up buying on at site to play in the car.
