One of the best ways to make holiday memories with your family is to bundle up, make or pick up some hot chocolates & a sweet treat then head out to look at some holiday lights. We are very lucky & there are a few spots near Phoenix that do holiday light shows that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your car. World of Illumination is a yearly event that we enjoy visiting together! They have two separate locations each with its own theme. This year we visited the Glendale location which is located behind the Desert Diamond Casino off of Northern & the 101 freeway. Its theme is Reindeer Road, tickets range from $39.99 to $49.99 per carload depending on what day you visit. If you enjoy bringing your dog out on a car ride, they are welcome to join you in your car to see the lights.
Signs to the entrance are easy to follow & although there were two or three dozen cars when we arrived, we were able to get in quickly and enjoy a nice slow ride enjoying the lights and music. They will have signs at the front entrance to let you know what station to tune your vehicle to. The music that is playing on the designated station are synced with the holiday lights & many of the elves, reindeer, etc. will look like they are signing along to the songs.
They had a great assortment of traditional Christmas songs that have a slight remix to them along with some holiday movie songs. It is a great family friendly event that kids in particular will love, it is exciting to hear what song they will play next and see the light show that goes with each one. This event will include lighted tunnels, giant Christmas trees & more. In total it took about half an hour to drive through & view everything they have set up. I always look forward to seeing the light show each year. If you want to add something extra special to the experience for yourself or for your children they sell light up cheer sticks and 3D glasses to really make the lights pop. If you aren't near the Glendale location they have another in Tempe with the theme Cosmic Sleighride. At the moment they do not have any kind of bundle package, but it would be nice to see a bundle in the future where you can get tickets for both locations with a slight discount for the dual tickets.
🎄 Does this sound like an event that you & your family would enjoy? Which theme do you think you would enjoy more the Reindeer Road or Cosmic Sleighride?

First of all, my family would love this. Second, I'm not sure which we would love more. Honestly, I'm sure we would just visit both of them!
If I had to choose, I'd say Reindeer Road would edge out SLIGHTLY if we had to just pick one. HOWEVER, the proximity of these places means that anyone can just visit them both, which is awesome.
Oh, we would visit them both I know my family. This look like so much fun and soooo pretty, we couldn't just pick one.
wow, thats a beautiful view. my kids will love it here with lot of fun
We have something similar less than a mile from my house, at a local mall. The lights, sights, and sounds of the season are nice, I just wish it was a little lower in price to experience.
I love Christmas lights, they're always so pretty. I love how they have such beautiful displays.
I love bright neon lights with a dark background. I don't know why, but I find if very soothing :) Lovely blog post - somewhere I would hope to visit one day!
I wish I could take my family to this illuminated extravaganza! Such clever displays - thanks for sharing. Stephanie

Hhhhmmmm...I am thinking they would. These guys here really love anything event and people-infested.
I am from Mesa and we have scheduled this...after the free Mesa Temple Lights.
The illuminations look great. We have a few local light trails nearby our home which we want to go to.
Such a cool place to visit for adults and children alike! We have Illumi near me, it's a similar concept.
My family and I absolutely love light trails!
Wow it looks like it was so fun! I love your pics, this was awesome! Love it!
Those illuminations look great, I like them very much. Kids would definitely love this place
I love the idea of staying in your car for a lights trail! It's much warmer in your car - I do hope they do these in England soon.
I'm eager to experience the enchantment of the World of Illumination. It seems like a magical way to infuse some extra festive joy into the holidays! I always enjoy witnessing the beauty of holiday lights.
The Reindeer Road at World of Illumination in Glendale, AZ was enchanting! The dazzling lights, synchronized displays, and festive atmosphere made it a magical experience for families. Truly a joyful holiday treat.
omg these lights, stunning....I've been to a couple of christmas light shows and they were gorgeous!!! I would love to check Glendale's Reindeer Road, so so cool...
This looks like such a beautiful and festive light show for the Holiday Season! I love it and love driving around to see the decorated houses!
Reindeer Road looks absolutely amazing! Christmas really is the most magical time of the year, isn't it!?
