There are 3 different parking lights for Rhema Lights. I normally visit in early or mid December and if you arrive at 6pm you can watch the displays come alive and get good parking. This visit was on New Year's Eve and the perk was open parking and it was easy to stroll through the lights. This free event is a great way to get you in the holiday spirit. It is typically packed with lots of people checking out the lights. There are a lot of different displays and options to buy popcorn or a warm drink or jump on a carriage ride. Some of the light displays are synced to music which is fun to watch. read more

Rhema Christmas Lights - Holiday lights - Festivals Near Me - Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

As a kid I used to be so impressed by the shear amount of lights that the school placed on almost every building, tree, and bush. Even as a young adult, it was always a spectacle to see. However, over the last several years, I've seen that focus change. The back driveline that connects the two sides without going through a parking lot, is no longer light up. Most of the back buildings and none of the back trees are lit up either. Across 71st street, the student housing and student stores are light up anymore either. Sad. They have put more lights and started LED productions with LED lights on the west lawn. They've added so much over there that's it's almost a bit cluttered. This is where the bulk of the people visit. Lots of walkways and trails to walk under lights and decorations. Other than the parts left out that used to be a part of the show, it's still a nice place to visit and make a tradition for Christmas. read more

This annual light seeking outing is always topped with Rhema. We don't go, unfortunately, every year. But I think it just gets bigger and bigger. Don't recall seeing horse drawn carriages before, but what fun! Walking the lightened paths are a beautiful way to spend an evening. My favorite memory of a Rhema Christmas: The weather was warm, the sun set softly, the lights just went on and on. We toured slowly with many other vehicles in our Porsche with the top down. it was beautiful. Hopefully we'll all be inspired to remember why we celebrate the season. read more

Christmas classic tradition. These are some of the best Christmas lights I've experienced anywhere and they are free. We have come every year since moving to Tulsa and I remember coming as a kid when my family would come into town to visit my mom's family for the holidays. You CAN drive it, but don't go with intention of getting the full effect if you plan to stay in your car. We love the Noah's, Ark and Snoopy displays the most! A fun double date would be too split a carriage with another couple. It would only be $25 per couple, and it would be such a fun and romantic thing to do. I think my husband and I are going to do that with my sister and brother-in-law in a week or so. read more

I always have to make a stop here because the lights put on such an amazing show and I highly recommend going on a weekday rather than a weekend because parking can get hectic. There's so much to see and they also sell hot chocolate, popcorn, toys, etc. onsite if the little ones are getting a little hungry or thirsty. The hot chocolate is okay, a little watered down but the popcorn is warm and delicious. We paid for everything in cash so I don't know if they take credit cards. We also waited for the carriage ride and paid for it, only for them to skip out on us and we were in the freezing cold weather for it. It wasn't Rhema's fault since the horses are operated by a different vendor but I was pretty upset and should've made them give me more than a refund for my time but it won't stop me from coming here like I do every year. read more

This is a yearly tradition for us and many Tulsans. We bundle up every year and brave the crowds to see the Christmas lights! This year, there was a concession stand with popcorn, cotton candy, apple cider, hot chocolate, and soda. It was nice to have a treat while looking at the lights. The light show did not fail to disappoint with popular holiday music. We will be back year after year for this wonderful holiday tradition. read more

The Rhema lights are a Tulsa Christmas tradition! More than 200,000 visitors are expected this year. Since 1982, Rhema has grown the display each year from 60,000 to more than two million lights. Admission is free! The Rhema campus is located on 71st (Kenosha) between Aspen (145th) and Elm (161st) in Broken Arrow. Parking is sometimes tricky depending on which say you go. I ended up parking across the street last night. This year they've added a "Christmas tree forest", a 14-foot tree surrounded by smaller trees. I still think the Rhema Park bridge/tunnel is my favorite. There are several ways to view the display. You can drive around the campus, walk around campus and through the park, or take a carriage. Horse-drawn carriage rides are available (weather permitting) on November 27-29 and December 5-6, 12-13 & 18-25. Carriage rides are $10 for each adult and $5 for each child. A Family Pack, including up to 2 adults and up to 5 kids, costs $25. There is popcorn, coffee, hot cocoa and other goodies available for purchase so you can enjoy while walking around. Visitors may donate toward the display online at rhemabiblechurch.com/give or text "LIGHT [space] [AMOUNT]" to 28950 and follow the prompts. Visitors can also place their gift in a donation box at the Rhema Park. read more

Waited in line for approx 1.5 hrs. Traffic control is horrible. For something so big, Broken Arrow does a terrible job regulating traffic. This isn't the churches fault, but definitely affected the experience. Lights were amazing. Great area to see the lights. They have done an amazing job with their work. One of the best light set-up i have ever seen. Drive thru was a little lacking. Though good, it wasn't great. The best experience is to walk thru the park if you have the time. Unfortunately for us because of the waiting in line for so long, we didn't have time to walk thru. I would suggest going anytime after 9pm. Traffic has died down in the area and you can easily get to the church. We will definitely be back to experience the walk thru. read more

My 9 month old has all the joy. When the lights turned on at Rhema Christmas Lights his jaw legitimately dropped and I legitimately will hold onto that memory forever. I'm not even going to try to convince you to come. Just do it. It's free and spectacular. But what I love most - well organized. My pro-tips are below for an ace-ly magical time: Lights turn on at 5:30. Arrive at 5:15 to get a stellar parking spot. If not, be prepared for some traffic. Bring some $ to hangout and have a photo op with your dude, Santa. And, cappuccinos, popcorn & misc. refreshments. There are tons of photos you will want to take. Be gracious though and don't hold up the people around you to stop while you instagram your hearts out. Bundle up! Snuggle up! Merry Christmas! read more

This light display has grown so much in the last 5-6 years. They completely went LED a few years ago, creating a bright and cheery display that can be seen down the street. It's a completely free walk through, but they do sell hot chocolate, snacks, and light sticks as a fundraiser. The trees are lit up and beautiful with lots of colored ball lights and moving icicles - there's so much to see! The walk through area has a light show - the lights change colors and blink based on the song playing. The bridge is my favorite part! The walk through area isn't the end of it! There are 2 other court yards full of lights and formed character displays, as well as a drive through path. This is a great holiday tradition for everyone in your family! read more

Do you like feeling like you're in a Christmas wonderland? Perhaps a space light time warp? Rhema has been THE spot for Christmas light viewing in Broken Arrow since I was little, and it seems like they only get better and better each year as they add more lights! I know the exact count is in the millions, so I can't even imagine all the time and effort that goes into putting on this production. A visit to the lights should definitely be planned with some cushion on either side, because you could get right in or you could be stuck waiting out on the street for an hour, depending on when you're visiting. They have a formal "lighting" ceremony shortly after thanksgiving and the lights stay up until New Years so there are a lot of opportunities to visit. Depending on when you go, there can also be other little treat, like vendors selling goodies or hot chocolate or even an appearance by Santa! Definitely make sure to visit both the park walk-through portion and the drive through bit (it tells the Christian story of Christmas through lights, so if that's not your jam, maybe stick to the park.) This is an awesome Tulsa tradition and a cool service to the community put on by Rhema each year. read more

This was so beautiful! We got there just before 5:30 pm when they turn the lights on. They were so colorful. They had a heart with "Will you marry me?" Which I thought was so smart since alot of people get engaged this time of year. There is a tunnel you walk through where the lights flash to the beats of Christmas music. Kinda reminds me of a fun house. We walked around a pond that had lots of lights. It looks like they switched to LEDS for the most part A great Christmas experience for everyone! read more

Love the Christmas lights. Think about this...what if you found a relatively quiet corner of your property, installed a huge star of Bethlehem beamed on a simple silhouette of the nativity, with benches all around for people to sit on and reflect? I would love that! read more

a group of my friends went to rhema to celebrate a birthday. everything was going great until they were denied access in because one of my friends has a service dog that provides help with diabetes. she had all her identification for her dog and had the safety vest and everything but was still denied entrance. i'm seriously upset and so is my friends, service dogs that help with sight but any other disabilities aren't allowed in. that's beyond messed up. i'm hoping it was a mistake and this doesn't happen to anyone else but if that's not the case then this is serious a problem. read more

Lots of lights and lots of people. Like lots and lots of people. Try going earlier in the season to avoid having to wait in traffic and having to fight your way through the crowd that develops in the light tunnel. Don't know if it's true or not, but someone said the lights could be seen from space. read more

Took my friend Elizabeth to Rhema. We couldn't get our significant others to go with us.... so we decided to go anyway and while it was very cold it was an amazing sight and we will definitely come back again. Wear warm clothes and watch out for puddles LoL read more

I grew up visiting the lights at Rhema. I had some free time so I drove down today from st Charles, mo to meet my dad and brother and take my daughter through the lights. So many good memories, if you live in the Tulsa area and don't take advantage of this you're missing out read more

I am from Texas and to find a great light show you have to drive miles and miles away, but once I moved here to Broken Arrow and Christmas came along, my partner had always talked about bringing me on a romantic get away rite here at home. Christmas time is very visually fascinating, I love the houses with different combinations of colors and crazy light shows. I was so excited knowing I would be able to walk and drive through trees and side walks covered by lights. The sooner you go the better, because once the night hits all the cars come out, and traffic is backed up for a couple of miles and parking is crazy. Very well worth the wait to see the visual effects of Broken Arrow Christmas. read more

Best light show you'll ever see! No kidding. Better than Disney. My only wish is they could have someone parking cars. We waited like 45 minutes at least, maybe an hour in line just to park. It was worth the wait tho. read more

Awesome, beautiful and such a special event for the holidays. These are not complaints, that would be a shame to complain about something so wonderful these are observations! We drove from Kansas City, MO about 3 1/2 hours. Once we got to Rhema there was no one to tell you where to park....no big deal. Once you got to the lights the little kids were running wild, climbing under the lights and tripping older adults. Teenagers were running with no parental guidance. There was a teenage boy walking around yelling with a bra tied around his head acting like a fool.To me this is a parents responsibility, although that doesn't happen much anymore. In order to keep everyone safe and under control a guard or two or a representative from the church would have helped be a more enjoyable event. read more

Awesome light display. My kids had a lot of fun walking through and loved stopping for cups of hot chocolate. We will definitely make the trip again next year. read more

Best Christmas light display in the Tulsa area! The lights are beautiful and it is a great place to take the family. I love how they give you the option to experience the lights by either walking or driving. Rhema had a huge crowded the weekend after Thanksgiving, but it was for sure worth it. This light display definitely helps spread the Christmas cheer in the Tulsa. read more
