Drive-thru light trail on I-35 in New Braunfels, open every night Nov 6, 2026 – Jan 3, 2027. $37 a car plus tax; season pass $74.
Santa's Ranch is a drive-thru light park beside I-35 on the north side of New Braunfels, about 35 minutes from downtown San Antonio. You stay in your car and drive a route through tunnels and displays of lights. Look for the 50-foot Christmas tree at the entrance.
It has the longest season around San Antonio: open every night from November 6, 2026, to January 3, 2027, holidays included and even when it rains. Hours are 6 to 10 pm Sunday to Thursday and 6 to 11 pm on Friday and Saturday.
The price is per vehicle: $37 plus tax for one entry, or $74 for a season pass with unlimited visits, and tickets work on any night. Pets can ride along. Trailers, buses, limos and RVs are not allowed. Coming from San Antonio, take I-35 north to exit 197, turn around at Posey Road and follow the frontage road for about a mile.
