Deets: Join us for a celebration filled with joy and light! Loosely translated, Hikari means shine in Japanese, and this holiday season we have really made Tanaka Farms shine with over a million twinkling lights!

Holiday Wagon Ride & Gingerbread Forest (includes general admission)*
- A cozy Wagon Ride around the festively lit farm that will take you to the “Land of a Thousand Lanterns” and once off the wagon, you will have the opportunity to wander through the light displays, with photo opportunities throughout. After the wagon ride, make your way down to the “Gingerbread Forest!”

*The wagon ride is a wooden wagon pulled by a tractor. The ride can sometimes be bumpy. Be aware, that there is a fair amount of walking involved. The wagon ride will drop you off at "The Land of A Thousand Lanterns" and you will walk through the remainder of the light displays. From there, you will walk down to the "Gingerbread Forest." While the path is clearly marked, we are a real working farm, and the ground is not paved. It can be uneven terrain.

Gingerbread Forest Only (general admission - does not include a wagon ride)
- Live music, food, photo ops, Arts & Crafts, Barnyard, Animals, and, of course…holiday lights!
- Meet Santa for a photo! (all activities priced individually)
