Magic of Lights Vail
It’s the opening weekend of Magic of Lights Vail, a brand new attraction that will fill the nights with fun and wonder after a great day on the slopes. Magic of Lights Vail is a walk-through display of colorful lights and winter-themed displays consisting of 500,000 lights along a half-mile path throughout Betty Ford Alpine Gardens and the Lower Bench of Ford Park.
The area is large enough to allow for social distancing, and reservations are set so there’s a specific number of people allowed into the area at one time. Reserve your tickets to walk through between 4 and 9 p.m., open nightly from now until Jan. 24. Visit magicoflightsvail.com
