GLOW TO BED: The Journey Through Time
Get cozy in the car
Buckle up for an enchanting adventure that begins with a bedtime story. The excitement starts with a Christmas Eve-themed drive-through mile-long display that ends with the joys of Christmas morning. This newer light show in NJ began as a residential home known as “Deptford Dazzling Lights,” featuring a stunning 50,000 lights in Deptford, New Jersey, and eventually became a contestant on ABC’s “The Great Christmas Light Fight” in 2023. After that, it found a new location and morphed into the drive-through GLOW! Display and Dazzling District. But it’s not just about the lights—it’s a full-on glitter-fueled, music-pumping, joy-sparking spectacle. Think jaw-dropping displays, dancing lights, and festive vibes for every age, from tots to teens and grandparents.
Enjoy the ride
Drive through the light tunnel, see illuminated trees, animated lights, and don’t forget to check out their menu to grab your snacks and plushies for the ride. Each section of the Turnpike glows with 8,847,360 animated lights, all perfectly synchronized to holiday music you can tune into on your car radio, creating an unforgettable experience that surrounds you in the spirit of the season.
