Marietta's Million-Light Magic!
If you’re ready to add some holiday glow to your week, head over to Life University. Lights of Life has flipped the switch for the season, turning the Marietta campus into a shimmer of tunnels, trees and glowing displays. Running nightly through New Year’s Eve, it’s the kind of event you can slip into after dinner without rearranging your whole evening.
The route winds through campus with photo spots, big character displays, carnival rides, a train, and a petting zoo tucked into familiar corners. It’s easy to move at your own pace, whether you’re cruising the loop with hot chocolate in hand or hopping out to wander the brightest stretches. Admission is paid per vehicle at the gate, so the only real prep is deciding who’s in charge of snacks.
Why It Works for Every Group
- Simple arrival: Pay per car or bus at the entrance and roll on in. No advance tickets.
- Spread-out setup: Plenty of space to stroll, ride or take photos without crowd crunch.
- Kid magnets everywhere: Carnival rides near the fields, a steady train route and a petting zoo that pulls younger kids in fast.
- Built-in purpose: A portion of admission supports Life University scholarships and campus-beautification projects.
- Easy timing: Weeknights stay calmer, and early evenings offer the clearest views.
Lights of Life brings a bright, familiar kind of holiday energy to Marietta. You get the sparkle, the convenience, and the chance to support students who spend their days on the same campus you’re admiring all lit up. It’s the kind of outing that leaves everyone in a better mood and makes your drive home feel a little cheerier!
So whether you’re heading out with kids, friends or a car full of people who just needed a break from the routine, Lights of Life delivers the seasonal boost without the fuss. Grab a warm drink, take the tunnels slow, and let the glow carry you right into the rest of December!
