Not all that - waste of money

Kristen_D, Dec 2024
Meh. Ridiculously expensive for what’s offered. The slides aren’t great and the lines are long. Food and drink was ridiculously expensive (although the menu for the venue was good). The lights were ok. Some weren’t working. Some speakers weren’t playing music. A friend bought tickets for me and my three kids. I wouldn’t recommend or go back.

Give it a pass.

Brenda_M, Dec 2023
The actual venue was beautiful. The lights were quite breathtaking. It's the signing up for the event that was a problem. The location was not given, and when I requested this info, I got a snarky response that the location was on the ticket. It absolutely was not. I had to dig for the information. Then the waiver was not sent to me, so I stood out in the freezing cold verifying I had not received it and took off my gloves to scan the code and fill out the form. No excuse for this. Others were complaining as well. Then there was another line to actually show the ticket.

A Great Christmas light show

Seems like millions of lights on a 1.5 mile trail. Beautifully done. They had concessions and pictures available as well. Easy in and out.

Fun times !

Esther_P, Dec 2023
What a great time ! Display was epic! Lots to do! The fake snow was such a nice touch. The concession lines are extremely long but they move quick but once you have ordered make sure to stay on top of them to assure your ticket number doesn’t get skipped over like ours did, however the attendant made sure to apologize. Would def recommend going to this. Buying from Viator was such a breeze !
