There are still a few days left before the Christmas holiday comes and passes us by, which means you still have a few days left to swing by and take a gander at a couple of local West Chicago family’s holiday lighting and displays.
300 Bayberry Lane, West Chicago:
The most impressive one we found is a Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer-themed setup. The ginormous inflatables are incredible and the coordinated musical playlist adds a really fun touch!
We were tipped off to this house at 961 Wild Ginger Trail in the Forest Trails Subdivision. It’s got so many inflatables, that it’s hard to take it all in, there are moving propellers on planes and helicopters and a peek-a-boo Grinch coming out of a chimney- the big dino moves his head as well.
The kids will love this one.
They’re both worth a drive-by, to boost your holiday spirit this year.
In addition to these two residential displays, According to a list compiled by U.S News & World Report, the best Christmas light display in Illinois is the Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle. It costs $16 for adults and $10.50 for children to enter. The Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum runs from November 18th to January 6th.
Here’s what U.S. News & World Report had to say about the best Christmas light display in Illinois:
“Sitting about 25 miles west of the Millennium and Grant parks in Chicago is The Morton Arboretum. Beginning in mid-November, the arboretum decks out 50 acres with lights as music plays in the background. After walking the mile-long path – which is fully accessible for visitors with limited mobility – get a snack at the on-site refreshment tents. Attendees 18 and older can extend the fun with late-night light displays synchronized to music at 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 8, 15, 22 and 29. Travelers say the trek is well worth it. If you’re not a member, tickets – which should be purchased in advance to ensure a spot and get the best possible price – range from $16 up to $39 per adult, depending on the day and time you visit. Illumination runs from Nov. 18 to Jan. 6, with a handful of days it’s not open.”
