If you are a tourist in New York City, it's worth renting a car and driving to Brooklyn to visit this residential neighborhood. You can also ask your hotel if there are tour buses that go there. It's easy to get to and even Scrooge will get into the Christmas spirit. Every year families decorate their houses for the holidays.... More

Our friends took us through Dyker Heights to see the holiday lights. Dare I say we've never seen a neighborhood more over the top in decorations - it was great!

Our family of 4 absolutely loved this tour! after a few days of walking around busy manhatten, it was a real treat to relax on the bus and listen to the tour guide chat about our surroundings while driving to Brooklyn. The tour was very informative and casual. Being able to get off the bus several times during the tour,... More

My family & I went on the Brooklyn Lights Tour through Hampton Jitney from Southampton. The trip was very popular, as we had a full bus of 50 passengers. Our 1st stop in Brooklyn was L&B Spumoni Gardens for dinner. This is supposed to be an authentic "old school" style Brooklyn restaurant, and judging from the very busy take out... More

I was here back in 2008 and again recently in Dec 2012. It's a good place to visit before Christmas -- gets you into the holidays! or at least makes you feel festive and you also get to admire the hard work a lot of these folks put into the display. Many start in the late summer and spend thousands... More

People go to Dyker Heights for one reason - to see all the houses decorated for Christmas. Most every house on most every block does a fantastic job decorating for the neighborhood and for visiting tourists. The kids will love it. Husbands & Wives or b/f's & g/f's will enjoy a stroll holding hands. BUT... It's a traffic nightmare. Find... More
