Thousands of miniature lights, along with special fire and lighting effects, create an enchanting atmosphere during our evening illuminations!
BEST OF BOTH - It's a day & night experience! - Some of the details in our models & scenes and also the spotter sheet characters are not so visible after dark. It is important to experience the village in daylight too and so our evenings are a day & night experience in one visit, you cannot arrive after dark!
Enjoy a daylight visit first and then go around again after dark. The lights come on at dusk. See our OPENING TIMES.
Please note that it is not possible to leave the park and come back later in the day.
Refreshments: Freshly made pizzas and refreshments available.
