Im pretty sure the waukesha one you heard about is out at the country suites off of either Highway SS or G and I-94. They have a huge light display although I don't remember if it is drive or walk through.

Yeah, that's the place behind the Country Springs Hotel. Right on Golf Road just West of T. You can drive through that little village too. They charge you like $10 a carload or something like that though. It's ok but I wouldn't go any farther than that. Especially not sure if it's worth $10 or more by the time you drive all the way out there.

Can't lose with Candy Cane Lane. That's like a mile from here. We vowed not to buy a house in that neighborhood even if it was "the one".

LOL

Candy Cane lane used to be cool. Last year, and the year before when those damn blow up decorations became cheap they blew up over there, and now walking through all you hear is the air pumps blasting hot air into santa's ass

I am not a huge fan of the hustle and bustle of Christmas, but Lisa LOVES it and I will be stuck walking through tomorrow night with her. If anyone wants to meet up and make a group outing out of it, lets do it.

I love candy cane lane. The first time I went there I was in a limo with a bunch of friends; it was awesome.

For his kids, it will still be cool to them.

I heard the city helps those people out on their electricity bill for participating or something like that. Don't know if it's legit but I heard it more than once.

It still is, just no where near as creative as they used to be with it. And I have heard the same

I went through candy cane lane last week with a girl I was on a date with because she is originally from out of state so she didnt know what it was? This year it was pretty lame I think there was only about 10 houses that were decerated right now.

The lighted park is in Pewaukee off of Golf Rd. The Country Springs Inn or a name close to that puts it on every year. This year it's $15 a car load. I went through it a couple years back and thought it was pretty cool. Had one part with a lighted tunnel look and it could tear u up pretty good when the lights started strobing. Not sure if it's worth it this year though...haven't been to it.

Theres also the good old fashion Candy Cane Lane and the Zoo puts lights on every year just make sure you're bundled up.

hope this helps!

About 95th-96th and Oklahoma. If you drive east on Oklahoma from Hwy 100, you'll see all the lights and I think they usually put candy cane decorations on the trees. You won't miss it.
