After seeing the Glittering Lights at the Speedway, I am wondering why it took them so long to realize how great it is there! WAY different then the Sunset Park experience, in much better way. Granted it has been a few years since I have gone, but I was pleasantly surprised with our 15ish minute drive through ride.
We went as a family and got some goods from the Memphis BBQ Drive thru first. If were taking the long drive out to the northeast, might as well make it worth it. Plus the fam really liked the idea of grubbing while enjoying the glitter.
The people at the entrance were very polite and gave us no problem with our YELP check in. You are also offered hot chocolate and popcorn by some very kind but a tad obnoxious teenage boy scouts. We supported the cause even though we had BBQ.
It seemed like many of the sponsors of the light displays stepped their game up. The tunnels of the Speedway also made a nice layout to enjoy. One part you actually drive into the center of a Christmas tree. The supported all nationalities and religions with a little bit of everything. And it didn't end to quick or last too long.
Overall, instead of running the city looking for cool lights, this is a solid option.
Thanks for inviting us Yelpers to enjoy the festivities!
