Holiday Family Field Trips in Woodland Hills

The holidays can be a wonderful time of joy, wonder and excitement. Here are some Woodland Hills family field trips your infants, toddlers and preschoolers will love!

Candy Cane Lane Holiday Lights in Woodland Hills

I’ve been going to Candy Cane Lane since I was an infant. The lights, the sights, the sounds and the sense of joy and community is unforgettable for children and adults. It is one of my favorite things to do with my family during the Holidays. We used to take our Halsey bus and fill it with family and friends every year. Now the family is too big for one bus so we caravan.

Since 1952 an eight square-block area in Woodland Hills near Oxnard & Lubao transforms into Candy Cane Lane. Every house is full of lights and unbelievable displays. You’ll even find Santa & Mrs. Clause roaming around. Lots of surprises and special treats are also offered many weeknights and on weekends. Keep your eyes open for elves and reindeer too.

The fun begins on 2nd Saturday of December and lasts through the end of the year. Lights go on at 7:00 (sometimes earlier) and are off by 11:00. Residents ask that you don’t drive by after 10:00 on week nights and 11:00 on weekends.

It doesn’t matter what Holiday you celebrate or if you celebrate nothing at all. The lights are fun for everyone.

Disneyland – Worth The Drive from Woodland Hills

I know it can be a challenging drive but it is worth it. We go every year for the Holiday Cheer. The fireworks show followed by snow fall is unforgettable. I cry every time.

Happy Holidays! I hope you enjoy this very special time with your family.
