{Things To Do} Holiday Lights in Columbia, South Carolina

With December just around the corner holiday lights are appearing everywhere. Where are your favorite lights? These are a few of my favorite light shows:

Lights Before Christmas at the Riverbanks Zoo & Garden
"Columbia's longest running holiday tradition"
Now until December 30, 5-9PM

Holiday Lights on the River at Saluda Shoals Park



Standing in all her Glory!



         Ignite your senses and experience a Winter Wonderland right here in the Midlands. Travel through a million sparkling lights with over four hundred animated displays each with their own special theme. Feel patriotic as you drive around a "United We Stand" inspired theme, complete with Lady Liberty herself. Don't miss the toy soldiers or the Christmas trees of the Dancing Forest swaying to holiday tunes. Then stroll down memory lane to the sights and sounds of the Twelve Days of Christmas.
      Experience a Victorian Village with Victorian Carolers and gingerbread houses galore.  Next, hop on board the Red-Nose Express Hayride to the boardwalk. Then see nature at it's best as you walk along the Wetland Wonderland Walking Trail all beautifully lighted in the night sky. 
Or saunter down a different wetland trail to experience the new laser light show while checking out the "Deck the Halls Holiday Door Display." 
        If you are more the adventurous type, tube down the 125 foot Winter Wonder Ride under lighted arches. Then end your evening with a visit to the concessions, crafting events, holiday gift store or by roasting marshmallows in the crisp night air. It's hard to believe this is all so close to home. Saluda Shoals Park is just one more place that makes Columbia so special around the holidays.
