Lazy River Lights Open to the Public
General Admission tickets are available for the public for $20-30. There is NO extra charge to swim. Also, if you are a guest at the hotel, the events are complimentary.
The pool is heated to 80 degrees. So even if it's cool outside, you can still brave the water.
Our Trip to Texas Winter Lights
We went for the first time a few years ago and had a great time. I had wanted to see the lazy river for years... and this event was the perfect opportunity.
Even though it was chilly outside, the kids floated through the (heated) lazy river, looked at the lights, played giant chess, watch "Christmas Vacation", drank hot chocolate and made s'mores over the fire.
The downtown skyline is gorgeous at night. Also, from the rooftop, we had a great view of the lights at Discovery Green.
