Looking for the best holiday lights locations in the Minneapolis Metro this Christmas season? Well look no further because you have found your one stop shop for the best user submitted locations in and around the Minneapolis area and beyond! My wife and I spent some time on Thursday and Friday touring both long time favorites and newly found light displays that are worthy of a look and placed them on a map, with photos where applicable, for you to reference and enjoy–even from the comfort of your own home!
Unfortunately there are a lot of homes out there that we may not know about and that’s where you all come in. I have created a nice form which you can fill out and submit your own favorites which will show up on the map within 15 minutes and all you need is a street address! (please note: user submissions are limited to the general area surrounding the MSP metro, locations outside of the area will be ignored automatically). If you have a picture of the house, feel free to add a link to it (hosted anywhere on the Internet but please make sure you have permission if the photo is not yours!) when you fill out the form!
So go ahead and scroll around the map below clicking on the points to see some photos and let me know what you think. I already have some nice plans for next year including ratings, the ability to upload photos, and a few more fun ones. If you have any of your own suggestions on what I can do to better the holiday light map for the Minneapolis metro go ahead and comment on as I’d love to hear what you have to say!

Just as a sidenote, the 13452 Flagstaff Ave house is really impressive in person. It is one of those houses where you tune to a radio station in your car and the lights blink on and off to the music, so it was hard to get a picture where all the lights are lit up at the same time.

FWIW, I planned out a mini tour this weekend using the Star Tribune’s google map:

The 153rd Street Rosemount listing is excellent and the best computer-run house that I have seen. I also recommend Walnut Drive in Burnsville – that is a crazy street. I will have to check out the other locations on this map. Thanks Bill!

Has anyone been to the Fox family farm down 160th towards Hastings? It is more a holiday display done in memory of their son. It is worth the drive.

This is pretty awesome Bill. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

We drive past it every year on the way home from Grandma’s house in Cottage Grove. It is beautifully done, I’ve heard mentions of it being in memory of their son but don’t know the whole story.

I had a request from someone who wanted a list of the coordinates for all the homes so that they could load their GPS. If you’re interested in seeing the raw data you can view it here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tp3B-tse4t20LtrskYrtl_w&single=true&gid=0&output=html in HTML or here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tp3B-tse4t20LtrskYrtl_w&single=true&gid=0&output=csv in CSV format (Excel, etc)
