Crowds at Osborne lights

[mickeysgirl17]

We are going to see the Osborne lights this year for the very first time. How crowded is it? We're going on a Thursday.

Not enough information. It depnds on when you are going. Early in the season, they are not very crowded. The closer to Christmas week you go, the more crowded, esp. Xmas week itself.

Whatever time of the month you go, the crowds will always be the heaviest right after they do the lighting cerimony. Do something else in the park for a half hour and then go over and walk through the lights.

I'm going on Dec. 14th. and I'm planning on going at 6:30 since it starts at 6pm. Also, does it close at 7pm or does it close when the park closes?

OKW lovr is right. Everyone crowds in immediately. Just hang back and do something else for a while and you'll avoid the throng.

We went last year early in December and it was very crowded when they turned the lights on. It was hard to walk around. Next time I would go and see the lights turn on, then leave to do other things and then come back after the intial crowds die down. It was really exciting to see everything light up!!
