Every year, I look forward to driving through the magical holiday experience known as Butch Bando’s Fantasy of Lights.
Located in the Alum Creek State Park campgrounds, Fantasy of Lights is central Ohio’s original, family-owned and operated drive-through light display.
This year, the Bando family is celebrating their 24th year providing a festive wonderland for families to drive through and enjoy!
Our family has always loved this tradition and we find new ways to make it fun each year – like taking our dogs with us in the car so they can enjoy the lights.
Admittedly, Z is into her teen years now and not quite as enchanted by holiday lights or spending time with family as she once was.
Since my family wasn’t up for driving through with me this year, I found a whole new way to enjoy the lights. I invited my best friend along and we had a blast. In fact, this is my new favorite way to drive through Fantasy of Lights: as a girls’ night activity!
If your kids are still young enough to go with you and enjoy the magic, then enjoy every second. But if not, here’s my recommendation to you this year: fill up a travel mug with hot cocoa and cruise on up to Fantasy of Lights for laughs, reminiscing about past holidays with little ones and a well-deserved moms night out.
