WonderLight's Christmas in Ohio
Drive-thru in Hartford · Central Ohio
Our take
WonderLight's Christmas in Ohio is a drive-thru at the Hartford Fairgrounds that, by its own page, synchronizes over 1 million LED lights to traditional and newer Christmas music played through your car stereo on 89.9 FM.
The 2026 season is printed as open nightly, holidays included, from 5:30 to 10:00 P.M. Tickets are sold in two-hour time slots and the page strongly encourages buying in advance; we don't check how many slots remain. Prices are per car for up to 8 passengers, with a separate rate for limos and activity vans, and no buses or RVs.
Pets are welcome as long as they stay inside the vehicle, according to the page, so the dog can ride along. Tune the radio before you reach the ticket booth.
