I've been to three light shows this year. This one is by far the best and a great value!
Light Show vs. Light Display
What’s the difference between a light display and a light show? A light display is made up of static scenes, while a light show is made up of moving objects or lights. Most of the time, this will include lights that are synchronized to music. To us, these are the best kind of lights. We feel that they are more exciting, and the mixture of music and lights is sure to bring a smile to every face that sees them. This is why Northern Lights is a light show and not a light display. We want to bring your Christmas experience to the next level with the best show you’ll see all season!
