If you're looking for some sparkle to brighten up your winter, head to the larger-than-life Nights Before Christmas light show in Kansas. Held at the Hutchinson Zoo, this annual event is filled with plenty of sparkle and action that will leave a lasting impression on you and your family. So, if you're looking to do something a little different this season, read on to learn more about some of the best Christmas lights in Kansas.
The Hutchinson Zoo is the perfect day trip (or evening outing) if you're coming from Salina, Wichita, or the surrounding area.
Each holiday season, the zoo hosts one of the best Christmas light displays in Kansas — Nights Before Christmas. When you go to the annual Christmas event, plan to be wowed and dazzled by all the holiday displays throughout the zoo during the festive season. This memorable event is put on in collaboration with local non-profits.
You might do a double-take when you realize that it's not every day that you see Santa raking leaves (instead of playing in the snow).
As you wander through the festival, you'll get to watch lights dance to music, too. This is just one small touch that truly makes this event magical.
As you can see, the reflections in the water will make the holiday display look even bigger.
This larger-than-life Frosty looks forward to watching the light show with you.
After you've been wowed by the spectacular light show, gather for some holiday treats and hot cocoa while waiting to say hi to Santa.
The annual Nights Before Christmas event takes place on select nights throughout the month of December. You can visit the Hutchinson, Kansas event page for this year's information including dates and times.
