Arrived 20 minutes early from opening, minimal wait. Beautifully done, very happy took the trip over.

It is so wonderful there, especially at night time I didnt get to see the and brightest and most colorful Christmas lights there. I know anyone who has kids please take them there and your kids will enjoy it.

Hard to find stuff to do that’s COVID safe. Glad they continued to do this this year !

Always a good time. Lines are going to be dependent on when you go. Price is fair and you can even save a couple bucks by ordering online. The line was actually slower on the prepaid then non prepaid line. Enjoyable for everyone. Sometimes even the natural wildlife will come visit and enjoy some of the lighting setups.

I wish it was back at Cedar Beach so everyone can enjoy it on foot and get to socialize with their neighbors and make friends with all who come to celebrate the season.

Growing up in Allentown, this became a family tradition when it started when I was a kid. I recently went after having not gone since I was a child, and because of which, had very high expectations for the lights as I so fondly remembered them. My expectations were met and definitely exceeded. I didnt expect to feel anything close to as awestruck as I was as a kid, but there I was, wowing, smiling, and laughing just as much as I had when I was one. I could never resist driving through without tuning in to (and singing along with) their provided holiday music station, of course. The display has obviously grown throughout the year, and it looks simply fantastic. The hard work of the volunteers definitely shows. Though it was a pretty extensive wait to actually drive through as I didnt purchase advance tickets, thankfully the people driving in front of and behind me understood the unspoken LITP rule of hanging a car length or more behind. It allows each car to experience the full experience of the lights without being diluted by others braking. Definitely worth the wait to see if it still held up as an adult. The Christmas Barn at the end of the parkway was a cute little stop that I dont quite remember them having in the 90s, but I made sure to stop in to check it out. Plenty of handmade crafts and perfect little gifts for last minute Christmas shopping of the more personalized and heartfelt variety. The chocolate chip cookies I purchased at the counter were literally the best I think Ive ever had, an obvious work of a seasoned local home baker. A wonderful way to support the community, and kick off Christmas.

Of course, the best time to see the Lights in the Parkway* is during Christmas but it is nice to see the stream and people fishing, calmly enjoying themselves in May.

What a mistake. Way overrated. Don’t waste your time on this event. They have an extremely poor system for moving cars along. If you want to pay $15-30 to lose the joy of the season and your Christmas spirit in a matter of minutes, definitely attend this horribly run event. Otherwise, don’t bother with the aggravation. You’ll wait hours upon hours to see a few lights. By the time you get in everyone is so angry, all you want to do is get home. But, you’ll wait hours more for that as well. Weeding through the mess of cars that are backed up for miles because of how badly they coordinate everything. It’s not worth it at all. We’ll never attend again. There are much better Christmas events that are managed much more efficiently in the Valley that won’t destroy your night. Absolute waste of a night.They won’t refund you either.

Kids love it. $15 per car. Maybe 10min slow drive through the lights.

Lame aint worth the money!!! Go to the lights at the zoo..

I wish I couldve given this 0 stars. We purchased tickets ahead of time online thinking we were assured admission. Granted we went on the last Saturday before Christmas, so the setting was bound to be hectic, but the Allentown Fire Police were totally incompetent and inconsiderate in their set up. We waited in line for an hour, were directed into the wrong line, forced away from the correct line and had to turn around. When we turned around we were not allowed by AFP to get back into line, upon return to the end of the line we were informed that they were closing the event, however upon telling one of the people directing traffic (only competent worker, the guy had a Vikings mask on if that helps someone commend his efforts), he told us we could enter the line. At the following intersection other members of the department had the road blocked, and thus we did not see the attraction. I cannot speak for the lights themselves as we werent allowed to see them but the people who run and organize this attraction need to figure it out. The headache wasnt worth the $16 we paid, and this sort of incompetency only further cements my pinion of Allentown. I wouldnt go back tomorrow if they gave me a free ticket. Find somewhere else that has their act together.

Good price. Beautiful lights. Cars move at a very slow pace, which helps to take everything in. I highly recommended it!

Was the worst! Drove from Northern NJ bout a 2 hour drive with the family. It was the WORST ever! 2 hours waiting and didn’t get in. The line had to be over a mile long. Traffic management was a joke. Used to come here for years but whoever is in charge of this should really get it together. We drove back with disappointment and had to drive all the way back to NJ just to see how a real light show was CORRECTLY organized. The line management was amazing and even with over 300+ cars, they moved everyone.

It might be just 2020 but this year the lines were much longer and traffic management could have been better handled.

This was terrible. I drove 45 minutes to see the lights and we waited for 2 hours in line. At 8pm they shut it down and told everyone that was in line that they were done for the night. They are advertised to be open until 10. If you want to get in and see the lights you have to be there earlier than when you want to go. I was not impressed and the traffic directing was terrible.

Beautiful display.Went on the 13th.Long wait1:45 .Be patient and pee before you go.

$15 at the gate, $12 if you purchase your tickets online. Takes between 15-20 minutes to drive through going 5 mph. Kids love the lights. Great way to get into the seasonal mood! Definitely suggest this be an event that you take your kids to. My favorite light show is the Toy Soldier firing the cannon. Make sure to post your favorite light show!!!

Worst run event ever. Traffic was a nightmare. They split the line and detoured and took us 45 min to get back to the same spot. Not enough traffic police. Intersections were jammed and saw multiple cars almost get in accidents. They need to limit the number of cars or set designated times. Never coming back!

The place is not open like Google says!!We drove over an hour from the Philadelphia area to get there just before opening at 5:30. We were greeted by local PD who said the season ended on Christmas. Waste of a 2 hour drive!

This place is wonderful, colorful, and cute

It was so freaking beautiful it wasnt even funny!😀😁😆 i took pictures with my bestie!

Nice place to go and see some lights. Tis the season.

Good drive. Nice lights. Credit card line is shorter wait time than cash line.

I was expecting more tbh but its okay for just a little distraction.

Have not been here in years. Lights were nice. You want a better experience for the people who paid 12-15$? Don’t have Work Release Inmates standing at the entrance NOT directing the traffic and or acting like degenerates. I do want to give a shout out to the one Latino brother who gave a cheerful Happy Holiday.

Absolute trash. Showed up 4 hours before close and was still about 300 cars from being let in.Most pathetic attempt at traffic management Ive ever seen. How you can run a program daily for years and still be so shoddy and abysmal is beyond me.I wouldnt recommend showing up unless you can be there before they open.

They give a telephone number and an e mail address to contact them........dont bother with neither. nobody will get back to you.

Drove 2 hours to be disappointed with no lights. Disgraceful.

Its a pretty cool trip!! They need to update the location on where to start from!! The location that Google gives is for the gift shop at the end!! When you get off the highway follow the signs for lights on the parkway!!

The address above is wrong. The entrees is on intersection S Jefferson St. and W Wyoming St.

Very nice drive-through exhibit during the Holidays. Fun and festive for the whole family.

Would have given it a 5 star rating but, as we were driving through the Christmas music on the radio was nothing but dead air for most of the ride through. Other than that it was beautiful as always.

Best experience for toddlers they can enjoy the lights from the truck, we open the windows turn up the heat and music and let the kid 🎸

Have no clue what do ever how to manage traffic .

Family tradition..we look forward to the beautiful light display every year. Great job to the ones who put in all the hard work for all to enjoy. Merry Christmas🎄🎅

Amazing experience. Be sure to turn the lights off and tune your radio to Christmas music!

When there last night at 7:30pm in was close... not way to get the money back

This is a beautiful place to take the family. You can drive through tons of light displays without getting out of your car so you stay nice and warm. You tune your radio to the station provided and Christmas music plays. I go every year and will continue to do so.

Pretty cool tradition

Great family 15_minute ride. Gift barn is fun...if you want the whole shopping experience and a meeting with Santa. And they charge by the car...so pile your family in!

I always love going to Light in the Parkway.... It just seems that you are ushered through the line VERY quick to enjoy the lights and the cost keeps rising drastically every year. Kind of a let down :(

We go every year, its inexpensive and always a fun time for the kids. We get hot chocolate and ride thru, its a tradition for us now. Even the staff are super friendly

Very nice family oriented Christmas displays. Drive thru in car with family, very nice overall

Entrance is at intersection west Wyoming/ south Jefferson

Hard to find the entrance but inside was beautiful.

Not a bad way too kill 15 minutes. Its a bit dated though. Really wish they would Upgrade this attraction. Seems like the same displays year after year

Tried to get a refund since I was unable to go and I got this message, Message from Christy:Lights in the Parkway 2017 season ended December 31, 2017. Since the program is offered for a five week time span, we do not offer refunds due to weather, as there are multiple evenings to accommodate people’s schedules. We hope to see you back in the 2018 season! Well I ordered the tickets at the end of the month on a Saturday since I work third shift and my elderly neighbors cannot go on the other days since they were gonna be out of town. So how can I go during the other 5 weeks if I only had a couple days left and had to cancel the trip due to snow at the end of the month? What do you expect from Allentown, greedy as usual!

This is a fantastic drive through Christmas lights presentation. The addition of the ice skating and The Perk Up truck this year was great. We will return again next year.

Many many lights!!!! Awesome

Nice. The gift shop was mostly antiques.

Its a tradition for my family. I go every year as a kid and now I tske my kids. They love the lights and its a short trip through but it bonds us.

Omg this place is amazing the way the places was set up its beautiful ! Only thing is I wish it was a longer ride . My family’s and I enjoy the Christmas lights .

Always a fun time, have been going every year and will continue for many more!

Traffic is horrendous. No way should cars be expected to turn around in the middle of the road. Very poor traffic planning. Other years it was organized.

Google should be updated for your start and ending date. Just drove 30 minutes and missed you by 1 day. Why would you finish on a friday!!!?

Very bad experience. Drove over an hr. to get there on Christmas night, so that kids could see the display. Website clearly stated it was open until 10 p.m. Got there @ 8:30 p.m. only to find it completely closed!Very disappointed as of course were kids. Dont understand how these people can advertise certain hrs. on their own website, and then not keep even close to them.Shameful.

Its become an annual event since our son was in middle school and now we take the grandkids. Really a great job by Allentown Parks Dept. Crooked Ed Pawlowski wanted to discontinue this tradition. He belongs in jail.

Years ago this was worth the trip, just went last night 12/21 and it was bad, gift shop at end was extremely horrible, not even worth stopping in to see if anything nice to buy

Great place to take the children and family and make great memories and there is a Christmas shop

The best way to end 2017😍 my kids didnt know which way to look....excitement to the left of the car and beauty to the right. We will be going again next year garentee!

Great for kids

Should do it once. Its cute but u wont be floored...they never change the set up so u seen it once u seen enough

Way over crowded.. nay aug park in Scranton is just as nice.. not crowded and best of all.. it’s FREE

Staff is really nice and they do a good job on lights it’s fun to go to.

Beautiful place to either take a date night or let the little ones enjoy the wonderful scenery

It was amazingly beautiful!I would go year after year...Awesome!

My children enjoyed their drive thru this parkway

This is a great attraction and the kids love it. Im not sure why the other reviewer thought they were open on Christmas because it clearly says on their website closed on Christmas Day. Its a nice holiday tradition.

The kids enjoy it a ton. Its pretty short, maybe 10 or 15 minutes long.

Love it. I went every year. So much fun. Cant wait to go again

Cool set up. Great for kids and adults.

Nice place for enjoying the Christmas

I dont recall seeing a nativity scene. If you dont have one, get one and make it the centerpiece.

Seriously awesome. gift shop was amazing too

Great family experience. You can do without the Christmas barn

The entire drive is very short.. 10 mins ..

Lovely. Kids love it. However, it seems to go too fast.

Better than I expected.

Price is now 15 but lots of new lights led

Nice drive though light display, lots of New stuff.

Beautifully decorated and great for the children. I always look forward to the Lights.

Beautifully done. Worth the wait to see.

Not worth $12 OR $15 dollars

Really nice light display and the people were friendly. The traffic around that area was horrendous but I suppose that is to be expected.

My favorite place to go with my family. Pricing is per car, not bad i love it ❤

Beautiful displays. My children loved it.

Very cool

Like the traditional lights

Its a quiet place that allows you to relax

The Lights in the Parkway are a must see during the Christmas season. Saturdays are really crowded though.

We absolutely loved it it was so beautiful.

So so

Very pretty.

Place is nice especially for kids. Friendly stiffs

5:47 pm and we’re all waiting and no one is letting us through ! Vary disappointing when we have young kids in the car !

Beautiful light show

So beautiful! We loved it!

Kids loved it

Great place to see a light display

A little pricey for the display. 15.00 . the gift shop was like visiting a flea market.
