Koziar’s Christmas Village, Berks County – my husband is from Berks County and grew up visitng Koziar’s Christmas Village. The first time we took my daughter there my husband ran around the property trying to recreate all of his childhood memories and photos. He had me take pictures of him where his mom took pictures of him at 2 years old and now him at 30 with a baby. I have seriously never seen so many lights in one place. Clark Griswold would give Koziar’s and A++ for effort of the light display. This is a walk thru display so bundle up. There is a consession stand that sells delicious hot chocolate. When you are driving to Koziar’s on Christmas Village Road and come to the top of the hill and look down on the light display you will smile feel like a little kid again. It truly is a sight to see!
