The Light Park, one of Texas’s most dazzling drive-thru holiday light experiences, is celebrating the joy of the season by reminding pet parents that four-legged family members are always welcome. With millions of lights synchronized to high-energy holiday music, immersive displays, and a festive atmosphere that delights visitors of all ages, The Light Park offers an easy, stress-free holiday outing that lets pets join the fun—all from the comfort and safety of the car.
“Pets are part of the family, and The Light Park is proud to create an environment where everyone can make memories together,” said Matt Johnson, President of The Light Park. “Whether you’re driving with your dog riding shotgun or a cat curled up in the backseat, we want every member of your household to experience the magic.”
A Holiday Adventure Designed for Pet-Lovers
Unlike traditional holiday attractions that may restrict animals, The Light Park was intentionally designed as a drive-thru experience—making it one of the most pet-friendly holiday activities in Texas. Guests can load up the whole family and enjoy:
- Millions of synchronized lights dancing to upbeat holiday music
- Pet-safe environment with no loud fireworks, open flames, or crowds
- A cozy, climate-controlled experience from inside your vehicle
- Photo-worthy moments with pets peeking out the windows at glowing tunnels, towering displays, and joyful scenes
- A low-stress outing for anxious pets who may not fare well in crowds or noisy holiday events
Pet lovers across Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston have embraced The Light Park as part of their annual holiday traditions, often returning year after year for an easy, heartwarming outing with their furry companions.
Perfect for Out-of-Towners, Visiting Family & Holiday Weekends
Families hosting relatives—or traveling with pets—can enjoy The Light Park without worrying about boarding, separation anxiety, or pet-unfriendly venues. The experience is conveniently designed to work around busy schedules, making it ideal for:
- Holiday staycations
- Visiting families with pets
- Road-trippers traveling for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s
- Night-out alternatives that keep pets included
Johnson concluded, “As a celebration built for the whole family, The Light Park invites guests and their pets to share in a season full of light, laughter, and connection.”
