Chad's Winter Wonderland is a magical Christmas tradition that's absolutely worth the visit! The wait time was very convenient, with minimal traffic, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's cash only and $25 per car, and honestly, it's well worth it. They've been doing this for over 40 years, and it truly shows in the care and detail put into the display. The lights are amazing--they mention over 4 million lights, and it's breathtaking to drive through. You tune your radio to their station and enjoy Christmas music perfectly synced as you make your way along the route. Make sure to dim your headlights for the full effect--it really enhances the experience. A must-do stop is for their hot chocolate and cinnamon bread. Hands down, it's the best I've ever had and adds such a cozy touch to the evening. Kids would absolutely love this place, especially with the fun surprises sprinkled throughout the drive. While there were a lot of people, everything felt well organized, festive, and joyful. It's located off Highway 109, making it easy to find. If you're looking for an alternative to the crowded dancing Christmas lights at the fairgrounds, this is a fantastic option that's equally well done. A beautiful, heartwarming holiday experience and a Christmas tradition I highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone wanting to soak in the magic of the season. read more

Just driving by and saw m the lights so we drove through on a whim. Oh man, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing that would have made it better is if we had the grandkids with us. They have hot cocoa etc that you can buy part way through. There were also live animals, Frosty and a Grinch. Mr. and Mrs. Claus made an appearance too. There were multiple nativity sets. Jesus is the reason after all. Lots to see, so dont be afraid to take your time. Some tips, make a Christmas Playlist. We tried the radio one, but I am not a huge chipmunks fan, haha. read more

This is the 41st year for this light extravaganza in Lebanon! Load up your car with the loved ones, tune your fm radio to 88.3 and find the beauty of Christmas together. $25 cash and a little more if you want some concessions like hot cocoa or hot cinnamon bread about halfway through the drive. This takes a lot of work and love so enjoy it! read more

Chad's winter wonderland is amazing! It's better than any of the fairground lights and it's very close like five minutes away from us. We also took our kids and it was so much fun. They have amazing hot chocolate and my kids love seeing the Grinch and Santa. We were able to connect to a radio, which played their Christmas music which was amazing. I recommend this. This is most definitely a five out of five place. read more

Nice drive through light show and music on FM 88.3. Very popular on Opening Day for this year. Boys enjoyed the lights and seeing Frosty, Santa and the Grinch. I heard the cinnamon bread is what to get here, but the concession line was long so we drove by it. A little pricey for what it is at $25, but they have a $3 military discount, which I always appreciate. read more

Really appreciate this beautiful light display. Flashing strobe lights give me migraines and Chad's doesn't have that nonsense... just wonderful, traditional Christmas lights and decorations. My 4 year old grandson was thrilled to see Baby Jesus, live Santa, Grinch and real livestock as well read more

Fantastic!! With the pandemic halting a lot of our usual Christmas activities, I seeked out these lights and were not disappointed!! To drive through, it was all of about 15 minutes maybe, but was totally worth $20 for us. So many lights, so many fun displays, and a great marked path. To my surprise there was also a live donkey, lamb, ducks, a Grinch, Snowman, and Santa Clause!! We had permanent smiles on our faces! Such a fun ride! read more

Chads Winter Wonderland has been a local favorite for 41 years. Chad has expanded over the years with newer style displays, but has stayed true to the early days with pieces from the beginning. read more

Wonderful Christmas lights. Their concession stand is great. Reasonable prices. Great characters. The grinch was awesome.

Chad's is a fantastic Christmas tradition for the whole family. The drive through takes you through the entire property and allows cars to spread out and take their time. Costumed characters are a fun addition for any young children or pets. Chad's has been able to preserve some of their older displays while continuing to add new ones over the years giving it a very personal feeling. Cinnamon bread and cookies from the concession stand are a great way to end the night. The lights are coordinated to music, but they do have their own radio station plying Christmas favorites. Well worth the drive and price of admission. A must see for the holidays in Nashville. read more

A long time ago, this winter wonderland used to be free and something for everyone to enjoy. However I still enjoy these lights and enjoy the happiness it brings, I do not enjoy the traffic on 109 or enjoy the traffic going down the back roads. It's definitely not easy for my friends and family who like myself live down these roads to leave while passing 30+ cars down the smalls roads. read more

We loved it! Super fun to drive through and lasted quite a while since his property is pretty big. We would recommend and totally come back again. $20 CASH to enter read more

love this place but seriously don't understand how admission is CASH ONLY but you can buy food and treats with card. REALLY needs to be updated to allow card payments for entry. read more

I can appreciate a local guy making a living. There's a lot of hardwood tome and effort put into this light display. $15 per car cash only We're from CHICAGO so we don't have anything like this by us. My boys 9 and 13 enjoyed the display. It was very well put together and cute. We loved seeing Santa wishing us a merry Christmas and telling us to count down until Christmas Then frosty waves good bye in frosty land. It's definitely a place to stop when you're in town so cute. Great job guys wish we had this back at home. read more

Did NOT disappoint. Definitely the best light display in Middle Tennessee. I would highly recommend anyone putting this on their list of lights to experience during the holiday season. Lots of lights and displays to see. Worth the $20 to see. Don't miss it! read more

We absolutely LOVE Chads! We go every year! My kids are growing up seeing this beautiful display and were excited to see it again this year. It has a beautiful mix of both old and new traditions and we love the tribute to his family at the end of the display. One year they had Cindy Lou Who and she was just adorable! Honestly, this must cost a lot to keep running all month and the cost of living goes up every year. I think it's ridiculous to complain (other reviewers) that he raises the price, so does everyone who owns a business. Also it clearly states on the website they take cash only-which makes sense since digital payments can be cancelled or disputed and you already viewed the show/used the product! Research what your doing beforehand and you wont be disappointed! Can't wait to see Chads this year! We came on to see if he was open yet and since Cv19 has ruined everything else, we'll probably do this awesome "socially distanced" activity 2x this year! read more

Nice little diversion for some holiday spirit. Chad's is a local guy's answer to Jellystone Park. Your drive literally through his yard and grounds through a clearly marked and lighted driveway/path. There are lots of lights, but they are the static display type, not a synchronized moving exhibit. There is a barn area you drive past with live sheep, but you can't stop your car to go pet the sheep or anything. There's also a live Santa nearby that you can wave to, as well as an enthusiastic dancing Frosty the Snowman. I would say at least half of his decor is painted wooden silhouettes lighted by flood lights. It's clearly a labor of love, and I know from online media he's a generous guy that takes much of the proceeds and buys gifts for kids in need. A nice little diversion, but won't compare to Jellystone's lights or even some of the fancier homes that host large displays on their own. read more

We went here tonight and loved it!! There was no line, and we were able to go right in. The kids loved the live animals and the people dressed up like the Grinch, Frosty the snowman, and Santa. We will definitely be going back next year! Great fun and Christmas memories! read more

We are visiting from New Jersey and we wanted to take our grandchildren, however when we got there it was 20 dollars and they did not let us in. We had to find an atm to go back because the kids started to cry. It is 2019 and you would think they have digital payments like venmo, on the square, etc. On the website it said 15 dollars per car and cash only very dissatisfied and we will never come back. read more

Very impressive for being done at his home. Over 2.8million lights to look at. My kid loves it.

Overpriced, chad goes up every year and it's the same thing every year. He's added a couple of new things but that's it and still goes up every year. I'm sure it'll be $25 next year and it'll still be the same things in the same place as last year. If your gonna keep going up every year at least add more lights. I remember when he only charged $7 read more

A magical Christmas favorite!! We moved to TN 3 years ago and this is a lovely tradition we look forward to. Cash only, bring $20 for your car and enjoy all the Fun & Family feels together!! read more

We love Chad's and drive over an hour every year to visit! A lot of work and love has gone into every display. This family seems to sacrifice a lot of hours before, during and after the holidays for the happiness of others. Thank you for all that you do! read more
