We are always on the lookout for amazing Christmas light displays, and we found a classic in Bountiful. Wheelwright Winter Wonderland is right off the freeway and has several awesome reasons to stop. The entire yard is full of lights and blow ups, and you can walk right through the display.
First of all, this display is generational. This light display began in the 1980s by the dad, and has been passed down to the son. Since then, the Wheelwright family has expanded to have the entire yard full of all sorts of Christmas nostalgia. Just driving past the house is worth the short trip from the I-15 if you are passing through.
Second, one night of the season, the Wheelwright family sits outside with hot chocolate and cookies, greeting each visitor that gets out of the car. We happened to visit on this evening and we enjoyed getting to know them and learning more about their Wheelwright Winter Wonderland in Bountiful.
We also liked the fact the Winter Wonderland is a walkthrough display. Even if the family is not outside, you should still stop and walk around the front yard. You can be right among the lights and marvel at the work put into this yard. You can hear the music outside, too. The lights are timed to music, so you can enjoy the display from your car if you tune in.
Another reason to visit the Wheelwright’s Winter Wonderland is a unique donation box. You can write down a Christmas wish that you have, and put it into an envelope with your donation. The Wheelwrights will donate your money to charity, and your wish will come true! (Hopefully). Make sure to scan the QR code for the scavenger hunt, too. We had a fun time looking for all of the items on the list.
Wheelwright’s Winter Wonderland is located at 1537 N 175 W in Bountiful. If you are looking for some other light displays in this area, you can check out:
