See the holiday lights by bus, and skip the parking hunt

It depends on the crowds and traffic that night. Dyker Heights is busiest in mid-December, and a full-size coach may not be able to crawl through the blocks or stop where the group wants. A practical plan is a drop-off at the edge of the neighborhood, an hour on foot, and a pickup at the same corner. A minibus gives the driver more room to work with.

You buy event tickets directly from the venue, and we arrange the bus and driver. Send us your entry window when you request a quote, and we plan pickup and drive time to meet it. Some venues offer group pricing, such as ZooLights at Stone Zoo for 20 or more, so ask the venue before buying individual tickets.

We build a traffic buffer into the route, and December evenings in Midtown, Center City or the Loop usually need a generous one. If the group is still running late, call the venue, since each one sets its own late-arrival policy. Our dispatch line is answered 24/7 if you need help changing the plan once you are on the road.

Two or three is realistic for most routes. One ticketed walk-through plus one or two free displays, such as a tree or a lit avenue, fills an evening once drive time is counted. Charters have a 5-hour minimum, so a longer list can work when stops sit close together, like Rockefeller Center and the Saks light show.

No. The dates shown come from the 2025 season, and each venue publishes its own 2026 schedule. Check the venue's website before you book the bus. Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Great Adventure, for example, has announced a return with dates still to be announced, so we list it without dates.
