As a kid, I remember asking my dad why he pulled the plug on our Christmas lights at around 9:00 each evening. He said something that came right out of the typical Midwestern dad phrasebook: "What? Am I made of money? Do you know what it costs to run these lights? Do You?"
The Christmas Wonderland experience in Alton, Illinois, features nearly 4 million lights and is created entirely by a group of volunteers called the 'Grandpa Gang'.
Millions of beautiful lights twinkling in all directions, making this iconic holiday display one of the best in the state. Plus, a brand new feature this year.
