You have to pay to get in and then you have to pay for everything that there is to do. Nothing is free except for looking with your eyes. Not even the train ride around the park or anything for the kids This is ridiculous already. Either sell or wristband that includes everything or don't have a freaking event. This is a poor Tri-County area we don't need this type of thing
It’s a bit disorganized; when we got there I wasn’t told to get the physical family tickets in the front booth. You need the tickets so you can redeem them when you take Santa pictures, the train ride, the gingerbread house & 3D glasses. Mind you you’re supposed to get the gingerbread house & glasses in the beginning of the walk. There’s a booth located on the right side of the entrance that gives you those items in a red bag. The Santa pictures are located inside of the center. My 4 year old daughter loved the Santa experience. If you have little ones take a stroller & enjoy the walk. For big families I think it’s too expensive. Just one ride alone is $5! Plus the food is so overpriced. The family pack is worth it if your family consists of 4 people.
It was a beautiful experience. My daughters favorite spot was the decorative floats from the Christmas Parade.
Loved it last year and decided to return. It is amazing. The Lily pads and trees lining the water were my favs. I would say that it looked like there were less exhibits and lights were out on some. We were sorry not to be able to see the floats this time.
Had to wait 1.5 hours despite time on ticket due to a concert at same time in same location. They should of had separate entrances and exits. A lot of frustration by people. Few rides at $5 extra each.
Did not like it was not christmas theme. Decoration were old and rusty. So.e decorations were off.
I got there at 5:45 and was not able to go in. I waited an hour and a half and still was not able to enter. When you have a small child, you can’t wait forever. It was so disorganized. Planned poorly. I didn’t use my tickets and is asking for a refund. Poorly planned by the organizers. So disappointed with the event experience.
Event was ok but I bought tickets on Ticketmaster and when I got to the event it was free to enter I paid for nothing
I loved it, my 18 months baby was happy to see all the Christmas lights. We loved it!!
