Best Walk-Thru Christmas Lights and Holiday Displays in Utah (2025 Guide)
Walk through Christmas lights near me
If you have young children (like me) and want to burn off some energy before bed, these walk-thru Christmas Light Show’s may be a good option for you! The kids will have lots to run around and see, and I know my toddler will be nonstop when we visit these walking light show locations.
1. Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point
We LOVE visiting Luminaria each year. Though it can be expensive, if you have a memebership you do get a discount. You can easily spend hours here walking around. I recommned the VIP pass if you like hot chooclate, you get a cup that you’re able to refill as many times as you’d like during your visit. They have LOTS to do for kids and toddlers to do during the walk through the lights. A top favorite for our family.

3. Temple Square Christmas Lights
Another great FREE option is Temple Square. We also do this one every year. Our family thing to do is to ride Trax to downtown, walk through City Creek Shops, and head to the lights once it’s dark. It’s fun for the kids and is a great way to spend time with your family. If you’re driving into Salt Lake City, the best place to park is City Creek underground parking.

This is such a fun tradition in Park City. On their main street each Christmas season, they have 7 life-sized snow globes. These snow globes are decorated by local artists and change each year. Each snow globe has 1 silver snowflake, can you spot it? Visit Park CIty’s website to see where each Snow globe will be located on Main street so you don’t miss any.

The Christmas Cruise is a unique way to see Christmas lights. They have lit up the Provo River for the holidays!
