A drive-through holiday light show with more than 1 million LED lights is scheduled to open Nov. 14 at Orland Square Mall, according to its producer, World of Illumination.
The show, called Cosmic Sleigh Ride, is set to open at 7 p.m. at the mall, 288 Orland Square Drive, and run through Jan. 3, 2027, the company said. It is the company’s first show in Orland Park.
Tickets start at $39.99 per vehicle, regardless of how many people are inside, and must be bought online in advance, according to the company.
The show is scheduled to run Tuesday through Sunday from 6 to 10 p.m., with some Monday dates in December. The company’s release did not say which Mondays.
Visitors stay in their cars for the 20- to 30-minute route and tune their radios to holiday music synchronized with the displays, the company said. The route includes more than 50 animated characters and displays, some taller than 40 feet, according to the release. It is built around a space theme, with gingerbread rockets, a tunnel and a stop called Santa City.
“We hope it becomes a tradition families look forward to for years to come,” said Yakir Urman, the company’s founder and CEO.
World of Illumination last ran a Chicago-area show in 2023, when it staged Arctic Adventure in Gurnee, the company said. The company says it has drawn more than 6 million guests nationwide since it was founded in 2016.
Ticket details are on the company’s Orland Park page at worldofillumination.com.
