More recently, the farm has added a Christmas light display to its bag of tricks—and not just any old light display, we might add. Lights at the Farm is Arizona’s largest walk-through holiday attraction, and it’s sure to become a new family tradition.

A relatively new tradition, Lights At The Farm is only two years old.
In such a short amount of time, the holiday spectacle has found its way into the hearts of families all across the Valley. This season, the lights will be on from 5:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. nightly through January 3.
In a massive display of holiday cheer, the event features a whopping two million LED lights.
From gumdrops and candy canes to trees shining brightly in a multitude of colors, there's no shortage of wonderment. In fact, this is the largest walk-through Christmas attraction in Arizona!
Driven by over 12,000 computer channels, the lights are synchronized to festive tunes we all know and love.
Some of the lights twinkle like stars, while others swirl as if to imitate galaxies. Either way, one thing remains consistent: the holiday magic only grows more intense with each additional step you take.
How enchanting would it be to walk through this Christmas tree forest?
Spanning 4,000 square feet, the rink adds a little winter magic to the desert. They are 30-minute time slots available from 5:45 p.m. until 9:15 p.m. to encourage social distancing, and you can reserve one here.
Tickets are $13 at the gate, or $11 if you purchase them online.
November 30 and December 7 are "Magic Mondays," and tickets are $10 to enter. On "Wonderful Wednesdays" (December 2 and 9) the same discount applies. Skate rental is also cheaper on these dates ($5 instead of $8). Military and first responders get in for $8 every day, and the cost for senior citizens is $10.
To keep guests and employees safe, only a limited number of tickets are being sold. Get yours before they're all gone!
