A Canarsie house display that goes beyond lights with interactive touches, including a station where kids can write letters to Santa and a scavenger hunt built into the decorations. It runs nightly from 5 to 11pm when weather allows.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Brooklyn is around 4:29 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:00 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 32°F, so dress for standing around outside.
