Don't miss North Alabama's favorite holiday tradition! Galaxy of Lights is a holiday light extravaganza featuring larger-than-life animated light displays. See Santa soaring over a delightful winter village. Nursery rhyme characters dance and frolic among traditional scenes of the season. And, best of all, experience the magic of the twinkling icicle forest. Galaxy of Lights is the perfect holiday treat for the young and young-at-heart.

Galaxy of Lights was named a Southeast Tourism Top 20 event for 2007. New displays covering almost a mile and a half make for more lights, more displays, more holiday fun!

Extended Hours, December 15 through 24, 5:30 - 10:00 p.m.
We're staying open later to shorten your wait! We encourage young families to come early, and those of us with later bedtimes to come a little later. Good things come to those who wait, but by spreading out the traffic over a longer time on peak nights we hope to improve the Galaxy experience for everyone.
