Where to Take Son to Enjoy Xmas Lights

Interlock in Arlington. it starts at dusk. I have gone there since I was a kid, and my kids love to go every year. Joe Pool lake has a great one too. This one you pay by the car. 10.00 or 5.00. its at Lynn Creek. There is a shop there and place to walk through the lights, last year they had rides, hot cocco, etc.. we do this one too. Enjoy

We just moved from Austin, but we have heard a lot about Interlochen in Arlington. Here is some info I found on it...good luck! I also found a website that lists all of the lights around town: http://www.town-mall.net/community/dfwchristmaslights.html.

Interlochen
The Interlochen neighborhood in Arlington features about 200 homes on winding streets with fountains and ponds�and plenty of lights. The Arlington Police Department will have new traffic control rules in place this year. The neighborhood is between Interstate 30 and West Division Street, off West Randol Mill Road. Motorists should enter the neighborhood from Randol Mill at Westwood Drive. Daily from dusk to 11 p.m., through Dec. 24. For a detailed map of the driving route, a list of road closures and other information, visit www.ci.arlington.tx.us, click on "Lights at Interlochen" under "Recent Articles."

There is a place in Grand Prairie (not sure if that is too far for you) called Prairie lights by Joe Pool lake I think it is like $15 a car and you drive through. I haven't been (we are planning to go) but my in laws have and they said it was really neat. I don't know the website off the top of my head but you can google Prairie lights at Joe Pool lake and it gives you all the info! Hope this helps some!

We recently went to Prairie Lights and we enjoyed. Here is the website:

this fri and sat evening north fort worth baptist church, on the access road of western center and i35 will be hosting a live nativity scene. also ryan place in south fortworth has a beautiful display of lights every year

Main st in Grapevine. It is awesome and they have the Polar Express Train.

There is a neighborhood called Ryan Place that usually has pretty lights, it is off of 8th Avenue and Elizabeth Avenue. Go East on Elizabeth Avenue to get into the neighborhood.

There is also an area on the West Side of Fort Worth that can be reached via 183/Southwest Boulevard. There is a stoplight at Overhill just a bit north of Vickery. Again, go east, turn right if you are coming off of 820 and turn left if you are traveling south on 183. The street Ts, turn to the right and follow it around. There is a small lake and they usually have beautiful displays with all of the houses and it is an affluent neighborhood so you are likely to see more lights if you drive through the neighborhood.

If you haven't bought one, they are a bit expensive but go to Wal-Mart and invest the I think $35. It shows to date, every street in Fort Worth, Arlington, etc. It is invaluable. I have been here since 1984 and still use it even with the yahoo maps.

If I have totally confused you, e-mail me and I will try to explain these two neighborhoods a bit better.

I haven't been yet, but downtown likely is lovely too, and the museum district which is off of Camp Bowie and Montgomery. Another thing to check out is the neighborhood to the West and East of University. Colonial Parkway, which is the street the zoo is on, that area on both sides of University has expensive homes and likely the lights to go with them, particularly the properties on Colonial Drive.

Daimond Oaks on Glenview Rd. west of Denton Hwy. Every street is done and very beautiful

there is a place in grand prarie called prarie lights..its by joe pool lake...on south 360 or south great southwest parkway...its like $12 a carload and they have millions of light displays...well worth the money and drive.
