Kansas City’s favorite holiday lights drive-thru event, Winter Magic, is moving to Platte Purchase Park this year! The Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department invites one and all to Kansas City’s premiere drive-thru holiday light show. Families will drive through the longest animated light tunnel in the Midwest! There are sections dedicated to the 12 days of Christmas, a toy workshop, a KC proud section and so much more.
To kick off the magic of the season, a special lighting ceremony will be held. A ceremonial switch will be flipped to “turn on” the lights, signaling the official start of Winter Magic. Guests can enjoy the ceremony from their cars before the drive-thru officially opens. Immediately following the ceremony, the light show will officially open for cars to begin driving through. Tickets are $20 Monday-Thursday, $30 Friday and Sunday, and $40 on Saturdays and are available for purchase.
