The Best Christmas Light Displays In Arkansas

The semester is finally over and it's time to get LIT. One of my favorite things to do over the holiday season is to look at all the pretty Christmas lights, and Arkansas sure doesn't disappoint. I've put together a list of the best places to see the lights in Arkansas, how many will you visit before the break is over?


Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest Enchanted Trail of Lights is a drive-thru light showing open every night 6-9:30 p.m. Admission is free but non-perishable food items are welcome. Sherwood, AR.

Garvan Woodland Gardens

Garvan Woodland Gardens offers 17 acres of an animated holiday display nightly from 5-9 p.m. Children up to five years old get in free, ages 6-12 will cost $5, for adults it's $15. Enjoy a complimentary hot chocolate at the end of your tour. Hot Springs, AR.

Lights of the Ozarks

Each year the Fayetteville Square is lit up with over 400,000 lights and is incredibly romantic. The kids can sit on Santa's lap and pet his reindeer, and you can enjoy carriage rides and hot chocolate. Fayetteville, AR.

Enchanted Land of Lights and Legends

Arkansas' largest drive-thru light display offers 1.3 miles of magic and over 250 displays. Admission is free and donations are welcome, for $25 you can purchase a Christmas Star that will be lit and displayed in the park "In Honor Of" a person or organization you choose. Pine Bluff, AR.


Arkansas State Capitol

Whether you've lived in Arkansas your whole life or it's your temporary home, the lights at the capitol should be on your bucket list of light shows. Aside from the firework show that goes along with the initial lighting of the capitol there isn't much to it other than seeing our capitol beautifully lit. Little Rock, AR.

Hodo's Christmas Light Show

You can catch this awesome light show that is synchronized with a radio station you can tune into, for free, from 5-10 p.m. Sunday - Thursday and 5-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Van Buren, AR.

Downtown Paris

Take a day trip over to Paris to see the sparking lights or join in on the Tour of Homes or Dinner on the Square. I hear there's also a pretty, lit up replica of the Eiffel Tower. Paris, AR.

White River Wonderland

This is the place to be if you're looking for ice skating, carriage rides, and a light show. Located right beside the White River in Batesville, AR.

Downtown Eureka Springs

Eureka Springs is an adorable town to begin with, but during the holidays it's an extra special sight. Take a walk down the main strip and see twinkling lights everywhere. Eureka Springs, AR.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
