The Santa Claus Land of Lights Family Christmas Light Adventure in Santa Claus, Indiana, opened for the 2010 season on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 25.

Located inside Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort in Santa Claus, Ind., this custom outdoor light show tells the Shining Story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in bright, energy-efficient LED lights. The Santa Claus Land of Lights is the only light show in North America that tells a story in lights and storyboards. At 1.2 miles long, it is also the largest campground holiday light show in North America, according to a news release.

A portion of proceeds from the Santa Claus Land of Lights will benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Discount coupons ($4 off per vehicle) for the Family Christmas Light Adventure will be offered at 160 McDonald’s locations in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.

Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) provides a comfortable and supportive environment for families with critically ill children. It also serves as a temporary residence near hospitals and medical facilities where family members can sleep, eat, relax and find support from other families in similar situations.

The newest additions to the Santa Claus Land of Lights are a light tunnel measuring 150 feet long and a pre-paid express lane, creating faster admission into the show.
