I love to look at Christmas lights. Where are the best displays? My favorites so far are #3-Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile, with over a million lights. #2- City Park in New Orleans with over 2 million lights. And the #1, for me, is Callaway Gardens in Georgia with over 8 million lights. If you go to that one, don't just drive up to the gates like we did. They asked when our reservations were, and when we said we did not have any, they told us the soonest we could get in would be 11:30 that night! We were so tired by the time we got through, but it was worth it. So tell me where to go next year.

Historic Bethlehem, PA. Understated, but beautiful.

The Country Club Plaza in KC. They light them every year on the day after Thanksgiving, and over 400,000 people come to see it.

Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. 45 miles of lights.

Thanks for the answers. The Country Club Plaza sounds like a must see for me. It took me a bit of searching before I realized it was Kansas City, MO., but I found some beautiful pictures. I think I will have to go there next year. The Bethlehem, PA sounds very nice too.

Oglebay Resort in West Virginia claims to have the largest light show in the US.

In Massachusetts there are 4 big displays that I am aware of

1. Springfield MA - lights in the city park. Drive through

2. Attleboro MA - LaSallette Shrine

3. Stoneham MA - lights in the zoo - walk through.

4. Carver MA - Edaville Railraod - ride the train through.

The Country Club Plaza is one of the more festive places in the US for the Holidays. Great atmosphere, everything packed into one 16 block area.
