Two drive-through light shows run this season: one underground in Louisville, one across three miles of the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. Both charge by vehicle, so a group of twenty in one bus pays one admission instead of five.

One flat rate, gratuity included
SUVs, Sprinters, party buses, mini buses and 56-seat coaches
Dinner first, lights after, everyone home

How the night runs

A simple plan for a group

Pick-up and dinner

We collect everyone from one address, or from two or three, and take you to dinner first if you want it.

The lights

The vehicle drives the route at the show’s pace. At Southern Lights the route is three miles; nobody leaves the vehicle on either show.

Home

Everyone is dropped where they started. The pick-up time, stops and admission are all set out in the quote before you book.

When not to book us

A family of four with a car

If you are four people in your own car, drive yourselves: a standard vehicle is $42.99 at Lights Under Louisville and $35 at Southern Lights, and you need nothing more. We make sense once the group is big enough that one vehicle beats several, or when nobody wants to drive after dinner.

Questions

Holiday lights questions

Do we need to buy tickets in advance?

Lights Under Louisville sells tickets in advance only, not at the gate. Southern Lights sells online or at the gate, and buses can drive through without a reservation.

Can a limo or bus go to Lights Under Louisville on a Saturday?

Lights Under Louisville sells its van, limo and bus passes for Sunday to Friday only. For a Saturday, choose a weeknight or Southern Lights. We confirm the rule for your exact vehicle and date. More in our 2026 guide to both shows.

Will a motor coach fit?

Southern Lights lists an arch clearance of 14 feet 4 inches for RVs and large coaches, and Lights Under Louisville sells a motor coach admission. We confirm the clearance for the exact vehicle you book.

Are the lights open on Christmas Day?

Southern Lights is closed on 25 December. Lights Under Louisville opens from 5:30 to 10 pm on Christmas Day.

Can we see both shows in one night?

It can be done if you start early: the two are a little over an hour apart on I-64 and both close at 10 pm. A Sprinter or coach is the better vehicle for that run, and we plan the order with you.

Do you do office holiday parties and New Year’s Eve?

Yes. See holiday party transportation for company parties and shuttle loops, and the New Year’s Eve party bus for 31 December.

Is gratuity included?

Yes. The flat rate you are quoted includes it, and nothing is added after the trip.

Our fleet

Choose the vehicle for your group

Seven vehicle types, all chauffeured and all quoted at one flat rate with gratuity included. Pick one, or leave it to us and we will recommend the right size.
