Woolaroc Moving To Drive-Thru Christmas Show Due To COVID-19

Leaders at Woolaroc say they are converting this year’s Christmas lights show into a drive-thru event because of the pandemic. The Frank Phillips Foundation said they knew it was not best to have crowds so close together inside the museum or participating in activities that involve close contact. That is why they said this year’s “Wonderland of Lights” will be a drive-thru show and ticket prices will be lowered from six dollars down to two dollars.

Leaders at Woolaroc say they are converting this year’s Christmas lights show into a drive-thru event because of the pandemic.

The Frank Phillips Foundation said they knew it was not best to have crowds so close together inside the museum or participating in activities that involve close contact.

That is why they said this year’s “Wonderland of Lights” will be a drive-thru show and ticket prices will be lowered from six dollars down to two dollars.

Bob Fraser, the foundation’s CEO said they are still expecting a big turnout at Woolaroc this year after having around 25,000 visitors around Christmastime in 2019.

“We’re going to add some more lights that we haven’t had before, we’re going to have a few attractions we haven’t had before, so it’ll be a little bit different, but it’ll still be a very special time,” said Fraser.

The lights display will run from November 27th through December 20th.
