"Iowa's Jolly Holiday Lights event, which takes place in Adventureland Park about 15 minutes from Des Moines, reigns supreme in the Hawkeye State. Here, you can take a 2.5-mile drive through more than 100 Christmas light displays. Not only will your kids enjoy the dazzling ride, but you can also feel good knowing that a trip to Jolly Holiday Lights benefits charity — 100 percent of admission fees are donated to Make-A-Wish Iowa." - Travel + Leisure Editors
