    This is one of the many picture taking set ups I paid $60 dollars for a family of 4 to enter this place for

    I've traveled all over the country (and lived) and been to many of these types of events during the holidays. I'm giving this a 1 star rating because of 1. Price to enter, $15.50 a person to "browse" is absurd. 2 deeply disappointing overall holiday vibe- did not portray German holiday vibe whatsoever. 3. Food choices, well those were almost non existent and the ones they had were overpriced and taste terrible. Peanut butter pickle corn dogs?? Really?? Over priced "crafts" that looked like items were picked up down at the shipping port in bulk prices from China. Local Artists? Laughable. I would say most items were not "hand made" by any crafty local artist. So the one star is for lack of quality, lack of vendors, lack of food or festivities, lack of true German holiday vibe, lack of parking, but one thing you do get, are a plethora of "picture taking" set ups. Save yourself the money, and disappointment and take a drive to Peddlers village, the little shops up at Bird in Hand. This town of Bethlehem is all about ripping the public off with their vendors selling crafts that appear to be bought in bulk from China. If I could give this 10 thumbs down, I would!

    We came to Bethlehem seeking out the Christmas City described in ads and tourist info and left having a good time, but feeling like for all the hype it should have been more. I did do my homework and read reviews ahead of time and feel like they did a good job of preparing me for what was to come. First off the cost, I definitely knew what to expect here from other reviews, I am understanding of charging a cover fee, but felt like it was a bit deceiving as the price indicated was higher because of fees, and the disclaimer that you could save money by paying online proved to be false. It was $14 a person for the weekends, this year in 2022. This year it was also free from 6 to 8 on Friday nights, we did pop in and were surprised that it was busy, but not insane. Next, the parking, despite the negative comments I had read, I found it easy, free and convenient. We actually stopped by both Friday and Saturday, we were there early both days and had no trouble finding a free spot and following signs to where we needed to go. I do imagine that it gets busier as the day goes on, especially on Saturday, but a friend of ours who arrived after us said she had no problem finding a spot, and when we left around 3 PM there were spots available. Inside there were many vendors, samples, photo ops, entertainment such as glass blowing, and ice carving set up inside 3 different tents and including some outdoor huts as well. There was a lot to do and see. Venders were certainly not cheap as stated in previous events, but there was some good quality items and vendors had deals for buying multiples. Overall we made the best and took advantage of everything there was to offer and had a good experience, but do expect to pay to get in, have it be busy and crowded and know that the vendors are not cheap.

    Christmas trees from around the world!

    Lots of artisans and craft vendors in a very cool setting in the shadow of the steel mill

    I'm not going simply because there is an entrance fee!! What a ripoff! It's like going to music fest with a fee. Give me a break.

    We recently went here with my two small children to paint pottery on a rainy day. We went in and…read morewere greeted by a very nice young employee and she showed us all the options of pottery we could paint. She then told us to pick out our paint colors and find a seat. We settled on 2 small airplanes for my kids to paint. If I remember correctly they were around $15 each. The atmosphere was very cute. On that particular da, there was a party in the back finishing up but other than that it was pretty quiet in there. Especially after the party left. My kids painted their airplanes pretty quickly because they are 2 and 4 years old. We gave them to the girl and she told us it would be a week until they were fired and ready to be picked up. A day shy of 1 week we were randomly in the area a d stopped by to see if they were done. Unfortunately only one of them was done so we didn't take it and waited for the other one to be done so we could pick them up at the same time. We came back the next day and they were both ready. They turned out great! Our experience at this place was wonderful. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone. Even if you don't want to paint pottery they have other options like glass work and mosaics.
