Huge Reindeer Flies Over Dazzling IL Drive-Thru Light Display

Options for taking the kids out to look at cool holiday light displays is growing everyday. The latest features a giant 40-foot steel reindeer.

The World's Largest Reindeer Attraction is in Illinois

Just a short drive from Rockford to Naperville, Illinois to experience Reindeer Events drive-thru light display.

Do you remember the LARGEST reindeer of all?

This attraction is worthy of a little re-writing of the classic Christmas song

"You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most massive reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Giant Steel Naperville Reindeer...
Has a very shiny nose..."

One of the things that really helped the holiday season feel a little like normal, were all the places you could take your family to see beautiful and elaborate light displays.

In Rockford, The Festival of Lights at Sinnissippi Park and All-Aglow at Nicholas Conservatory were visited more than once by my family. This year, there a new new light display at the world famous Anderson Japanese Gardens, called Lightscape.

Heading toward Chicago is no different, there are tons of choices for jaw-dropping light displays. The city of Naperville is one of the newest and most unique displays in Illinois
