If you want an inexpensive but decent show of lights go to the Lights of Life at Life University. We went last night and the kids loved it. It is just $5 and you can keep driving around and around as many times. Weeknights are not crazy busy so try to go during the week if you can.

It's like $12 or $15 for a 5x10 with Santa and no outside photography or video is allowed. I think that's the only size they have too.
Thanks I think we'll be skipping that part, then, but the train sounds cute!
