Please move back to Adventureland! There are just a couple displays lining the outside of the outlet mall and a big Christmas tree inside, not worth seeing anymore.This was our favorite holiday tradition driving family and our pups through in previous years and the move to the outlet mall is a huge disappointment.

It was OK. I had never been to it and was expecting to drive thru displays. While the walking around the shops was nice too, if it had been a "normal" December night, I would not have done this. I did get cute photos, but again, this isn't what I thought it would be.

This is not the same. I would really like for it to go back to the way it was. Driving through was amazing and there were more lights that way. It just wasnt the same for me or the kids. We drive an hr to be able to go see the lights .
Make-A-Wish® Iowa started Jolly Holiday Lights over 25 years ago to raise money to grant Iowa children’s wishes. Since then, Jolly Holiday Lights has become the organization’s largest fundraising event, funding more than 1,000 wishes to date. Make-A-Wish Iowa is excited about this year's new adventure at the Outlets of Des Moines, where families can carry on this holiday tradition.
