Dyker Heights

Brooklyn, New York, 11228

The Basics

Located between Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights is known as a great place to raise a family. In winter months, visitors enjoy over-the-top Christmas-light displays adorning the neighborhood’s historical homes. Consider booking a guided tour to see all of the most festive houses. Tours often provide transportation to and from Manhattan—crossing one of Brooklyn’s lovely bridges—so you can avoid spotty weekend subway service and simply enjoy the views.

So much more than Dyker Heights with Alan as a guide!
This was so much more than a visit to Dyker Heights because of our guide, Alan, whose knowledge of New York was extensive and so freely shared as we passed sights on route. Even our crazy driver Luis added some entertainment although his customer care skills weren’t quite on point. This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience that shouldn’t be missed in NYC at Christmas!

Brooklyn Christmas Lights Walking Tour at Dyker Heights
This was my second Dyker Heights lights tour. I recommended it to some friends we were traveling with. Definitely enjoyed the festive holiday spirit. However, there were not as many impressive lights as previous when I went almost 10 years ago. Covid has ruined everything.

Dyker Heights is a unique neighbourhood at Christmas. Just lovely! Unfortunately there was a lot of traffic to get there, so it became a bit tiring.

Brooklyn Christmas Lights Walking Tour at Dyker Heights
The lights and decorations are very impressive (and a little bit ridiculous in places). We could have walked round and seen them ourselves, but it was better as a tour because our guide knew where the best houses were, and told us information and stories.

Dyker Heights Brooklyn Christmas Lights Tour
Brooklyn is serious about Christmas! This tour was fun and easy. If you like driving around your town looking at lights, this is next level and something you won’t regret.
