Merry Christmas everyone! For my holiday post, I'm going to share my favorite places to look at Christmas lights.
First up, the Charlestown, Indiana town square, which I visit every year. Though I always just go to Light Up Charlestown for the lights, there is plenty for everyone in addition to the lights. They have train rides and visits with Santa for the kids, to name a couple. The website is here.
The Louisville Mega Cavern has an amazing light display. The cavern started out as a limestone quarry. According to the website, it is the largest building in Kentucky, despite being underground. There are over a hundred acres of space in the cavern and it goes under all 10 lanes of the Watterson Expressway and 70% of the Louisville Zoo. At Christmastime, there are over 850 light displays and over 2 million points of light. To see the lights, you drive your car through the cavern. More information here.
Finally, the Galt House, which I visited for the first time this year. The main attraction is the KaLightoscope, which has a different theme every year. This year it was A Christmas Carol. Instead of regular light displays, they use silk luminaries. These are very unique and interesting. There are also activities for the kids, characters, Santa, gingerbread houses, a village, and shows. You can find more info here.
