We went for the Christmas Lights and arrived before 6pm. The lights and train display are fantastic. The Santa’s workshop is neat. But the kiddos can’t sit on his lap. Aside from looking at the beautiful lights in an incredibly small area, there’s nothing to do. It is super crowded too. For 15 bucks a head I honestly expected more but oh well. It was pretty, but could have been a drive by.

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
