Come one, come all, to Winter Magic – the most fantastic of drive-thru holiday events in Kansas City. A world of winter wonder awaits you! Don’t worry about Krampus, you’ll be safe in your car the whole time. Hey, wear your pajamas and bring your hot chocolate, if it pulls your sled. Drive thru nearly one mile of the most amazing, mesmerizing, WINTERrifically magical holiday light experiences you’ve ever laid those gazers on. See the elves work the toy factory, cruise through the longest light tunnel in the Midwest, be hypnotized by our spinning trees, rock the elf out in our RGB Pixel Party area, and so much more. I’m telling ya, your snodsokklers will probably never believe you. It’s an elf-of-a-good-time!
See the holiday magic every night this season in Kansas City’s Northland near 152 and 169 highways. The magic runs November 1st through January 5th in the new year. Tickets are reserved by half-hour timeslots and there are slots available every night of the week. Winter Magic (in partnership with KC Parks) is the city’s premier, drive thru winter event now for the 5th year in a row! Merry, happy, Christma-Kwanza-Hanak-us! And a happy New Year!

Sometimes. On and around holidays are the busiest times at Winter Magic. Weekends are very popular. On these nights, you can expect some wait, but it usually doesn’t exceed 20 minutes. If you have really young children, gramps legs fall asleep easily, small bladders, or grinchy members in your group, it is best to avoid Black Friday and weekends thereafter. Either way, please plan restrooms, snacks, and activities accordingly – though there is a portable restroom onsite.
-
The timed slots allow us to funnel traffic more efficiently. And, it keeps our neighbors happy.
-
Yes. You need to arrive sometime during the half hour that you have reserved. It’s not necessary to be early and don’t worry too much about running late unless you are the last timeslot of the day. (Those elves love their families and like to get home on time. They probably won’t hold the door).
-
Yes! Many of the lights, including the Midwest’s longest animated light tunnel, will synchronize to the music. You will only need an FM radio in your vehicle to hear the songs. It is quite the holiday party. Be ready to jam!
