I don't know about you, but it doesn't feel like Christmas until the lights go up. And once they do, we find all the best ones to visit! If you, too, are looking for the best Christmas lights in Oklahoma, head to Ackley Park in Elk City. As far as Christmas lights in Oklahoma go, the annual Christmas in the Park event is among the best! Check it out below!
This year, Christmas In The Park will take place from Nov. 24, 2023 - Dec. 31, 2023.
Christmas In The Park takes place at Ackley Park in Elk City.
It is by far one of the most popular places to experience holiday lights in Oklahoma.
Viewing times are Friday and Saturday evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
There are so many fun things to do here, including amusement-park-type carousel rides and a trip on the "Holly Jolly Trolley."
One of the coolest things is the Mistletoe Express - an English double-decker bus that will give you free rides around the park.
This bus ride is not exactly the same as a traditional tour, but the thrills are just as wonderful!
Christmas in Oklahoma just wouldn't feel quite the same without a visit here.
Be sure to embark upon the Candy Cane Express and be on the lookout for Santa and Mrs. Claus to make special appearances. And if you enjoy good chocolate, area Cub Scouts will be on hand serving up hot cocoa.
The festival features one of the best light displays in the state.
The park is decorated with millions of lights and many festive holiday displays.
As far as viewing the lights, you have a couple of options here.
You can stroll through the lights dotted around the park and enjoy the festive Christmas music...
...or you can drive through the park and admire it all from the warmth of your car.
Whether on foot or driving through, it's a spectacular show and you'll enjoy every minute of it!
Every year Santa's Gift Shop offers a limited edition ornament, in addition to other items.
If you enjoy holiday shopping, you will definitely love it here.
