After reading lots of reviews we decided to get the subway and save a load of money! We were staying in upper west and it took approximately an hour either way. The walk from the subway to the area was really straightforward and took approx 15mins. We went on a Monday evening approx 6pm and it was great. A few tours but not too busy at all, I would hate to think what it would be like on a weekend or peak times. It was a fun thing to do.

Our tour guide Andrea did a fantastic job giving us a history lesson of NYC. This is a must see for any Christmas enthusiast. The light display were out of this world, definitely haven’t seen this in my life. No one does Christmas like NYC

Christmas is the best time to visit Dyker Heights, an upscale neighborhood in Brooklyn. A stroll around the ornate Christmas decorations has become a local tradition. Seeing how each house compete with others for the best and most impressive festive layout is of much fun.

A bit overrated I went on Christmas day and it was packed, It will full of tour group To be clear you do not have to do a tour group to, Its FREE. I went there via Car, Parking is scarce and was only able to leave it for a short time. I live in NYC and its not really a big deal for me to get there, but Im not sure why a tourist would spend at least an hour each way on a bus or train to get there , when they have a limited amount of time, Lots of nice displays in Manhattan alot closer

Took an hour long subway ride to get to Dyker Heights, but it was well worth it! Agreed with people below that it is not necessary to pay for a tour – you get a perfectly good experience walking around the neighborhood and experiencing the sights on your own. It has always been on my NYC bucket list to visit Dyker Heights after I first watched Dash and Lily during Christmas 2020, and it certainly does not disappoint! Each house’s attention to detail and holiday spirit is incredible. What’s even cooler is the deep sense of community one feels when walking around the beautifully lit streets.

We came a bit early, around the 1st week of December so perhaps not every home was decorated but more than plenty did. It’s so festive and fun! It’s easy to wander around at one’s own pace and it wasn’t too cold, though I suggest definitely dressing warm and even bringing gloves. Crowds weren’t too bad. This is such a nice and happy community spirit, much appreciated ~

Saw this tour advertised before we left England, we booked a tour through our travel agent. It did not disappoint , if you love Christmas you will love this. The tour guide told us that most people pay up to 20,000 dollars to have their houses decorated by professionals. It's truly amazing, on the way back to the hotel the coach stopped at Brooklyn Bridge , so we could take photos of the manhatten skyline. I would highly recommend this tour,
