A Magical Night at Lake Lanier

I recently had the opportunity to visit this year'sand was not disappointed.

It was truly a fun experience as I marveled at all of the holiday displays full of lights, lights and more lights.

Here's your opportunity to load the kids in the car and join in the "oohs and aahs" of this magical experience and be a kid again.

In its 19th year the Magical Nights of Lights features new and improved holiday entertainment and attractions along with its traditional driving tour through more than seven miles of illuminated characters and scenery with millions of twinkling lights.

Some of the lighting displays include Animal Kingdom, The Twelve Days of Christmas, Santa's Elves at Work, a drive through Icicle Tunnel and much more.

The magical nights of lights tour is open nightly from 5 to 10 p.m. through Sunday, Jan. 1, and is located at 7000 Lanier Islands Parkway in Buford. The short drive is only about 25 miles from Norcross.

Also, Santa's Workshop is full of holiday knick knacks and Christmas ornaments for the tree.

Patch also put together a short video tour above so you can see for yourself what you're missing if you haven't been there yet.
