Winter Wonderland Holiday Experience (Gilmore Car Museum)

Winter Wonderland turns the Gilmore Car Museum campus in Hickory Corners into a holiday lights spectacular. Outside, guests wander a holiday light maze, Rudolph's Reindeer Forest & Flight Academy and a light show set to holiday songs, hunt for elves, and take vintage car rides in classics like the Model T. Inside, the Christmas Through the Decades exhibit sets cozy living-room scenes across the museum, a festival of decorated trees invites voting, and Santa stops by for visits. Kids can write to Santa at the North Pole Post, make ornaments and grab snacks at the Pedal Car Café or Blue Moon Diner.

Our take: Aim for a Friday night so you catch the Fireworks Fridays show on top of the lights.
