(CNN) — For the Wisconsinites who are tired of binge-watching Netflix while self-isolating, the Dane County Regional Airport has opened an attraction that they can enjoy from the comfort of their cars.
“It allows people to get out of their house in a safe way. You can remain in your car but still enjoy the world and what it has to offer,” Brent Kyzer-McHenry, director of marketing and communications with the airport, told CNN.
Nashville is one of the destinations featured in Dane County Regional Airport’s “Flight of Lights” display.

“But when the coronavirus happened, the one thing people aren’t doing is traveling, so we thought it would be nice to turn it around as sort of a tribute to the people on the front lines like the health care workers and first responders,” Kyzer-McHenry said.
Light dIsplays honoring health care workers and first responders were added to the attraction along with messages reading “thank you” and “hope.”

“Flight of Lights” opened Saturday, but Kyzer-McHenry said the response has already been overwhelming with more than 400 cars driving through and nothing but words of positivity.
The attraction is open from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. every night through May 10.
“DCRA is excited to bring people to the airport to take a journey through ‘Flight of Lights,’ which helps our community join together to safely show support to our local heroes,” Airport Director Kim Jones said in a statement.
