When the holidays come around, we all tend to look for events to go-to to experience the magic of the holidays. During the holidays, one of the magical places that pops up is the Tinseltown Holiday Spectacular. This seasonal experience is a family-friendly, outdoor event where you walk through a magical wonderland of festive lights.

Taking place at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks – about a 35 minute drive outside of the city – you’ll be able to sit on Santa’s lap, take photos, meet Philly mascots, enjoy treats including spiked drinks for adults, ice skate, and more. We especially loved going and seeing all of the trending and Philly focused light fixtures that just made you excited about living in this area. The experience takes placed starting late November through the New Year and children under five can attend for free.

I highly suggest going earlier in the night on a weekday, especially if you are attending with any little ones in strollers. Later in the evening starts getting busy so it become a little difficult to navigate with a stroller and then lines to take pictures at some of the figures begin to get long.
