I would give this zero stars if I could. I only would give one star only for the fact that my daughter had a blast towards the last 15 minutes of our time there. Definitely is not a winter wonderland as the attraction looked so much better when you saw it from far away. Once you get inside, it looks cheap and poorly prepared and/or designed.
3.5 stars - This event was fun for a first-time in San Diego. We regret that we didn't bring our camera that night. Some of the lanterns, especially the world landmarks were really nice. The lanterns that resemble people or animals were less attractive. We liked the entertainment. We saw some Chinese acrobats. The food options were ok. Some of the vendors were the same as you would see at the County Fair. The shopping was disappointing. I was really hoping to see some traditional holiday vendors. Instead, we saw vendors selling astro turf, and other random household products. I thought that the admission price was a bit high - but I guess that's how much it costs to host this event. Overall, I would still recommend folks to attend the event. There are a lot of great photo opportunities. Just don't expect much in terms of food or shopping.
The parking was a snap thanks to all of the parking attendants. The Christmas Light Displays were beautiful. The mini amusement park was fun for the kids.The shows were entertaining for all ages.
Kids loved the experience both Rides and decoration in the wonderland. We also liked the performances of the artists presented during circus of lights. Food at the venue was little expensive though.
This event was so so. Too spread out and needs some updating some of the displays look torn and dirty. Prices were too high
This was a HUGE disappointment. It’s way too much money for what this really is. Food vendors....terrible. Our food was still raw. And, the selection is poor. Very minimal. You’d be better off driving to Christmas light venues and viewing. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Brilliant marketing, you think you are going to a "winter wonderland" or festival on the football field with hot chocolate, ice skating, global booths, etc. You are not! This is a small fair with Christmas lights in the parking lot. Literally carnies wearing santa hats. Plus you get charged for parking, charged to enter and then have to buy tickets for rides. It is a racket and the most unChristmas experience I could imagine.
Boring and disturbing light displays. Good stage performaces that encourage audience participation.
It is very expensive and it is a simple and small fair. Food is horrible snd way to expensive $ 6 for a soda!!!! You end up expending like you were in Disneyland.
If you are just going to look at lifts save your money. It costs $50 for 2 tickets just to see lights. We were there maybe half hour and yes it was pretty just not worth that at all!
I would not recommend you waste your gas or money on this place. Global winter wonderland was pretty boring. My boyfriend and I walked the whole thing in 20 minutes and decided to leave. Another thing we weren’t sure how it was “global”. It was half China and everything else on the other side. That place need some serious upgrading to do.
For the price of this I would assume that they would have more everything. This entertained us for like 30 minutes max. The amount of food vendors was sad and we decided to go elsewhere for food. There weren’t many vendors selling stuff either. We could have skipped this, saved on cost, save on drive time and would have had a better time pretty much doing nothing.
The lamps themselves are amazing and so fun to look at. Food was waaayy overpriced for the quantity and quality. The circus was cool, loved the motorcycles in the sphere thing that was what made it the most worth it. Shopping area was a dud barely anything on sale. Santa pics were expensive and the quality was horrible
I told everyone I know how great this event was! We loved it! I want to get a season ticket next year! If you love Christmas and lights it's mesmerising! Ther bright colors, lights and thoughtful scenes blew me away!
If there had been a program for the shows it would of been worthwhile. The actual lights were very disappointing, cheap and poorly done. The food was ridiculously expensive even by fair/carnival prices. If it hadn’t been for the couple of acts that we were lucky to see them we would off been more dissatisfied. Bottom line unless you have children young enough to see the magic and deep pockets .... stay away!
Not worth the price. Lines were not set up when it was supposed to open. Ticket scanning did not work. Employees could not even tell you where to exit. Bad odor as portable bathrooms set up right by some food sales. Lights were nice to look at.
This event was very poorly put together and the lights looked cheap. The website definitely hyped it up. Aside from rides there was nothing to see or do. It was a waste of money.
I drove all the way from Los Angeles to San Diego to walk around a parking lot to see a few lit up figurines. Should of stayed home. Not impressed
I saw this as an ad on fb, and immediately bought tickets, when we Arrived to the parking lot, it looked so magical. The lights were amazing, if wasn’t too packed, and spread out just enough to where it wasn’t crowded. We walked around taking pictures, hanging out in the snow, and of course eAting food and hot chocolate! The rides were fun.. would definitely go back.
