Last checked: Oct 16, 2026

Callaway Resort & Gardens, in Pine Mountain, invites you to "Enjoy the seven mile journey of Fantasy in Lights from the comfort of your own vehicle, where you can drive through 18 dazzling light scenes" (Fantasy in Lights, [Official], checked Oct 16, 2026).

Please confirm before you go: the resort's event page gives conflicting dates for some events, so confirm your date with Callaway at 1-800-225-5292 (Fantasy in Lights, [Official], checked Oct 16, 2026). Prices and details can change.

At a glance:
  • Heads-up: dates on the official page don't all agree

Plan your visit

  • Dates: "Fantasy in Lights runs November 13, 2026 through January 3, 2027" (Fantasy in Lights FAQ, [Official], checked Oct 16, 2026).
  • The drive: "approximately seven miles and takes at least 45 minutes to complete" (same page).
  • Price: 2026 prices aren't released on the event page, which points to a separate tickets page. Children younger than 3 are free, and tickets include same-day Gardens admission (same page).
  • Rain: "Trolley ticket holders who do not wish to ride the Trolley may drive through in their personal vehicle" (same page).
  • Service animals: trained ADA service animals, "specifically dogs and miniature horses," are allowed in buildings, at Robin Lake Beach and on the trolleys (same page).

Heads-up: dates on the official page don't all agree. The FAQ lists the Valentine's Dinner as "February 13 through 15, 2026," while the event list on the same page shows "2/13/2027 - 2/15/2027." The resort shuttle runs "from November 15 through December 31," though the lights open Nov 13 (same page). Call to confirm the dates you need.

Heads-up: walking areas, tours and the shuttle. The Christmas Village, Walkthrough Tunnel, Winter Wonderland Walkthrough, trolley, Pink Jeep tour and resort shuttle have no published accessibility details. They're optional extras; this guide rates the drive in your own car.
