Christmas Nights of Lights at Coney Island

We love Christmas lights! We go somewhere every year to see them. This year was our first time going to “Christmas Nights of Lights” at Coney Island in Cincinnati, Ohio. We went on a Saturday night. The line started just off the exit ramp and it snaked through the parking lot at Coney Island. We waited for around 45 minutes. We could see the lights in the distance which definitely helped keep the kids excited instead of annoyed.

The lights are synced to music that we found while waiting in line. This also helped the girls to wait. We really belted out some tunes. Our rendition of “Let It Go” was… well the word appalling comes to mind, but we did have a great time singing it. That’s the point right? We chatted a little and explained what Baby Shark is to my oblivious husband.

We finally made it in and it was well worth the wait! We loved it. I highly suggest visiting if you are near the Cincinnati area. Octavia (2) was so ecstatic to see all the lights, especially the snowmen. She is currently obsessed with snowmen. We all loved the arches you drive through.

The cost is only $6 per person. Children 3 and under are free. It was $24 for the five of us which was a pretty cheap Christmas outing. If the urge strikes once you get in the lot, there are port-a-potties. It was pretty cold outside and there was a bit of a line for them. Thankfully we didn’t need to use them.

The show is open every night until January 6th including holidays. They start at dusk and run until 10 pm. I have heard that the line gets longer later in the evening and as it gets closer to Christmas. It’s truly beautiful and a wonderful experience. Don’t take my word for it. Go see it yourself.

Merry Christmas & Happy Travels!
