Five of the Bay Area’s best: Filoli in Woodside, Glowfari at the Oakland Zoo, Lightscape at the San Francisco Botanical Garden, Christmas in the Park in San José, and North Pole Nights at Gilroy Gardens. If your group has another display in mind, ask us. If a bus can get there, we can plan it.

It’s your evening, with the transportation handled. We pick your group up at an agreed point, drive you to the attraction, and arrange the return for when you’re done. Your group explores the displays on foot, at its own pace, and the ride home is already waiting at a meeting point everyone knows.

No, admission is booked separately with the venue, where it’s required. Christmas in the Park is free. Our quote covers the transportation: the vehicle, the route, and the service hours, confirmed with you before booking.

Three things: your date, group size, and pickup location. If you’ve already chosen an attraction, include its name and any booked entry time. A dinner stop or an extra pickup can be added as plans develop. You don’t need the whole evening figured out to start.

That’s exactly the kind of detail we plan around. Glowfari releases timed slots a few weeks ahead, so once your group books one, tell us the time and we’ll set the pickup so you arrive for your window without rushing. The same goes for any venue with a booked entry time.

Yes to dinner, and sometimes to a second stop. We review the distance between stops and any ticketed entry times before recommending a schedule, because an evening that looks good on paper can turn into a night spent riding. Dinner plus Filoli works well for a company evening. For North Pole Nights, most families prefer to stay at Gilroy Gardens and enjoy the shows.

Luxury vans seat 13 or 14, shuttles seat 23, 27, or 31, and coaches seat 38, 52, or 56. Tell us your headcount and what you’re bringing, and we’ll recommend the vehicle with room for everyone and everything.

That’s who these evenings are for. Strollers, mobility aids, and extra storage are part of the vehicle conversation from the start, and ADA-accessible vehicles are available upon request. All five attractions involve walking after arrival, so tell us about your group and we’ll plan the pickup arrangements to match.

Before the trip, we review the venue’s bus access and agree on a return meeting point with you. The schedule includes time to walk back from the displays, compare photos, and board without anyone being hurried. Everyone knows the spot, and the vehicle is there.

Yes. An additional pickup can be part of the route, which helps when the team is coming from the office and the families from a second meeting point. We’ll sequence the stops so the evening starts together.

Each attraction keeps its own hours: Filoli runs until 10pm, Christmas in the Park until 10pm, and the others vary by night. We plan the return around your preferred time, not ours. Our dispatch runs 24/7/365, so a late walk back through the lights is not a problem.

Two calendars fill up at once in December: the attractions’ ticketed nights and the region’s vehicles. Glowfari’s timed slots release a few weeks ahead and the popular evenings go quickly, so the best move is booking the tickets and the transportation together, as soon as your group picks a date.
