The Holiday Lights Safari Benefit is an award-winning event and the most exciting seasonal attraction in the Upstate of South Carolina. – Our Holiday Lights Safari Benefit is a one-of-a-kind event that runs nightly from November 21, 2009 – January 2, 2010 (including all holidays). You drive your own vehicle through nearly 100 acres magically decorated with millions of twinkling lights, dazzling holiday themes, light sculptures, a life-sized Nativity, plus HERDS OF LIVE ANIMALS and much more.

Opening nightly from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. with extended hours on weekends through December. (See Exact Hours here)

Along the way you will enter the "Enchanted Deer Forest," where you will encounter herds of free roaming animals. The Enchanted Deer Forest is included in your fee of admission. Animal food is available to allow for added interaction with the animals. Animal food packages begin at $1. It is highly recommended to enter this section with treats in hand. Hundreds of animals will approach your vehicle and many will eat right out of your hand! This area is a favorite of all ages. Be sure to bring your camera!

Also included in the Holiday Lights is "The Walk" where you can park, get out of your vehicle, enjoy time outdoors in South Carolina’s moderate weather, walk around, meet, pet and feed many of Hollywild’s friendly animals. A favored activity in this section is to gather around the bonfire, share time with family and friends, roast marshmallows, drink hot-cocoa and fully enjoy a relaxing evening. There are also many children’s activities, such as Pony Rides, bottle babies, a giant slide, visits with Santa, photos with Santa’s babies and much more. But don’t be mistaken!... this is not just a children’s area, it is for ALL the young at heart.

Santa and his Elf are there every night through December 24th with a treat for the children.
