Christmas Lights Crawl
Christmas Lights Crawl
Climb aboard the Christmas Lights Crawl and explore three exceptional light displays to get you in a Motor City merry Christmas mindset. Guests will roll merrily along to experience the Hines Drive Festival of Lights, Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo, and Campus Martius: home to Detroit's official city Christmas tree, menorah lighting, Kwanzaa celebrations, heated outdoor shopping stalls, a beer garden, and ice-skating. All from the safety of a chauffeur driven luxury motorcoach, eliminating the hassle of parking, scheduling, and organizing, and allowing you to simply board and enjoy.
In route from location to location, we’ll rock out to Christmas carols, enjoy festive and funny games, and play Christmas trivia for prizes.
It promises to be a magical night of Christmas memories and perhaps a few Festivus airing of grievances, or feats of strength.
