Spanaway Park

"We went on Friday night 2 days before Christmas. It was a long line but it was really worth it. The lights are absolutely spectacular."

"FANTASY LIGHTS AT SPANAWAY PARK REVIEW. We visited, on New Years Eve. December 2023. The cool thing is that you can pay for the Fantasy Lights tickets online. We went to buy the tickets and it was a discounted night so we only paid $11. We arrived at the Spanaway Park around 6:30 PM and there was hardly no wait in line at all. I liked the displays and there is even a radio channel you can listen to while driving through. I feel like this is a great activity for just kicking back in the car with your friends, and family, and kids, dog, whoever, and listen to some cheerful Holiday tunes and enjoy each others company! The light display itself is not magnificent, but its still really cool and a lot of work seemed to be put into it. I will definitely be back when my grandkids come and visit me next year at Christmas time. My favorite displays were a jump roping bear and the Sasquatch, and the Santa with his Reindeer, oh- and the motorcycle jump, and the space needle:) I feel like this is a very affordable activity for families to enjoy. 2.5 Miles of lights too. You are instructed to stay in your car and drive through."

"Review for Fantasy Lights only*. I would say unless you live close by, it’s not worth it. The worst part is waiting in line for 1+ hour(s). But if you decide to go, here’s some more info for ya. There is only one entrance in, so don’t try to the Bresemann blvd way. I also suggest you don’t turn left or even right onto Milatary road from Pacific Ave. That intersection is chaos. Approach from Spanaway loop Road and turn right to get in the entrance. Once you finally do, people are there to direct traffic and it’s not so bad. The lights are fun and there is plenty to look at. They have an old-timey design and feel, which can be nostalgic and classic at times and dull and outdated at others. Overall, they are fun, but I’ve seen just as good for free. Overall, not worth the $20 entrance plus all the time and gas just waiting. I would even say not worth it if you live close. It was worth it for me to say we did it, but I would never do this again . People are impatient, so you’ll"

"It's a lovely, large park with 4 or more parking lots, as well as a pretty good sized lake. Lots of big trees and many trails. A number of covered picnic shelters and clean restrooms. Big fields, a boat launch, benches, and many picnic tables throughout the grounds. Also a good sized children's area with different play structures. Fishing, Boating, paddleboarding, swimming, and bbq's. A nice breeze on a sunny day."

"Nice, local park, decent walking trail, scenic. Enjoyed our visit here, but restrooms were limited, only one was open but otherwise a nice place, lots of folks fishing, ducks and geese were on the beach, lots of parking available."
