Went there after it was recommended. The cost of $15 per person for very limited area of lights although beautiful I would recommend just drive by. There is really nothing to do. Also $5 for a small hot cocoa that was lukewarm sludge. Very overpriced over crowded that you can’t enjoy anything and we went on a week night at 6pm. Not worth it

La manager usa cuentas en ebay con la informacoon de este lugar para acosar la gente en lo que vende en vez de usar su numero personal nada profesional de su parte señora y es con viejas que estamos hablando ridicula. Busquen algo que hacer que no sea joderme la vida. Vieja pendeja Jessica Noes

It was not not good food for the value. I could have made the same thing at home. They seem to focus totally on their Christmas lights and do not have any seasonal outdoors in the Summer or Fall. Very overrated.
