Outside lights
Skyy S.

I visited for the first time last night and had a great time! I learned that it was sponsored by Hallmark. They had all kinds of shops and food stands. My favorite was the taco truck as well as the French crepes truck. We of course took many pictures by the lights and got to try ice skating. Perfect for couples, families, and honestly everyone in general.

Lights that are out

The worst coordination of an event I've ever seen. You have to pay $15 to park and then they literally have you park several miles from the entrance in Siberia (in a poorly lit and poorly paved rarely used parking lot). Then they expect women and children and families and people with disabilities to walk the several miles with no security or police around for safety and 1-2 shuttles running that can only hold 20 people at a time. By the time you actually get to the entrance, you've lost your patience and your Christmas spirit. Getting inside is no better. Security, if you want to call them that, are barely coordinating the flow of people. We saw one security guard sneezing all over the place without covering his mouth. After the security checkpoint, there is no coordination of checking tickets. We could have easily walked in without someone checking or scanning our tickets. The event itself is also disappointing. If you have been to Enchant in previous years In Arlington, this one is sure to leave you less than thrilled. A good majority of the lights were out. The displays were blah and repetitive. Mostly white trees and white reindeer and more white trees. Beyond disappointed with this event from beginning to end. This is Dallas. We can do Christmas in a more organized and enjoyable way and we do. Save your money and your time and go to one of the other many far more organized holiday events in DFW.

Last night was the worse experience here, the amount of money spent was insane. 5 adults and two kids. Parking was a nightmare and lines for a shuttle to take us to the places were crazy long. Workers driving golf carts we're taking advantage of the lines and charging $20 extra bucks to take people to the place. $300 for tickets were wasted on a very disorganized and overcharged event. Overcrowded and exhausting experience for adults and kids. Terrible and expensive 2 hours ever! One hour for parking, waiting for shuttle, walking to the shuttle and getting there! ~ Staff very cold, rude and materialistically trained. *No consideration whatsoever for small children, disabled and seniors!

Wasn't a big fan of Enchant. The lights seemed redundant. It was mostly reindeer statue lights. They tried to distract you from this by giving you a scratch off card and having find all the reindeer. Each one is named liked Santa's reindeer. The big tree in the middle was cool but that was about it.

Went on a Friday night. Arrived at the gate for parking around 7:25pm. Parking was good with many attendants this night. However, the walk all the way to the front of the event is very far. Luckily, they have shuttles and golf carts that were moving fairly quickly to take families to the entry. We were inside the event by 8:00pm. Beautiful lights at Enchant, very clean grounds. So many cute photo op spots within the maze. They also have an ice skating trail (extra $). In my opinion, a bit over priced for the limited amount of things to do. We felt like they could have pumped the Christmas music a little louder. But overall, a nice event to get you in the holiday spirit!

Such a magical feeling when you're in the light maze! We spent most of our time there and enjoyed a show with beautiful professional carolers. We didn't get to enjoy ice skating but my sisters said it was hard to skate because the ice wasn't cleaned when they went. We also didn't see the Santa show due to time. There's unique vendors for shopping and even Build a Bear. The food trucks were fast and lines weren't long. I would go again on Christmas Eve. It felt like we were in a Hallmark Christmas movie. Only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because we wished there were more activities and also, I think they ran out of the maze prizes.

I wish I had read the reviews before spending $128 on tickets & parking. I really wanted to be able to give 4 stars, but unfortunately I have to echo much of what was said by others who attended. We went on a Saturday night at the 7:30-8:30 time window. First, the entrance at gate 13 was very confusing. And there are little to no lights everywhere along the way, so it's super hard to see where exactly to go. The guy who directed us was real nice though, as was the lady who checked my ticket for my pre-paid parking and gave us our parking pass. The lines to get in were fairly long, and not well marked. The metal detectors were a joke, everyone was beeping, but no checks were being done. The bag checks were a joke too. There are no lights , and the bag checkers do not have flashlights, so they're pretty much checking blindly. The lady who checked my bag was real nice though. Once inside, some of the signage was real small so you couldn't see what you were walking towards until you were right up to it. The drink stands were out of most drinks, the hot cocoa was scalding, burned my tongue, threw it away. My husband had the Hallmark Jingle Cabernet Sauvignon, and he said it was really good. Pretzel was way too hot, and tasteless. Waste of money. A couple of the food stands/ trucks lines were so long we were afraid if we stood in line they'd run out of food before we got to the front. We ended up going to Olive Garden instead lol. On the up side, the light displays were beautiful, and we got some cute pics. Glad we got to experience once , but will not go back.

Can't skate... closed

Enchant Dallas was not what it was years ago when it was at ranger stadium. This year was so unorganized, way overpriced, way to crowded, no snow (except at entrance) the skating rink was closed for over 30 minutes, the metal detectors are a joke, everyone was making them beep but noone cared. The maze is pointless, you collect all the stamps and get no prize like years ago. We paid for parking in advance then got charged again when we got there. Can't wait to never go again

Top overview

I have a mixed reviews on this experience. We enjoyed it somewhat. Let me high the major point to make it simple... The cost was slightly higher than the experience. We probably won't try it again as the interactive aspect was slightly under par. The best piece was the lights on the ground. This is always where you will find the majority of the parents but it was cold after while and the limited vendors in this are made the lines long for hot coco. Also note: our biggest negative was the concession stands appear to be one vendor but in fact we're separate so you stand in one line for hot coco and then have to get in the other for warm food which you don't find out until you see at the window only to switch lines and wait all over. This is highly contributed to 2 stars! They need better signage. The maze was cool until you couldn't figure out how to get out. They may need more staffing to assist. All the food we tried was good so no complaints on this. It's similar to fair food but we liked it has plenty of options. We also looked at the vendors selling items and the cost range was wide so I feel like everyone will find something in their price point which I thought was cool. We bought from a body care stand and I'll say... the products have been good!!! All in all.... It was okay! Find a deal on your tickets and maybe see if you can find a deal on parking as parking was steep by ACE parking at $25.00 which is purely event pricing.... Just a little quick cash for Ace Parking with few attendants on the ground.

Keeping with the theme of giving experiences rather than only gifts, we went to Enchant to enjoy the Christmas light maze. It was good for what it was and to say we had the experience, but if you choose to go, be prepared to come out of pocket quite a bit, get lost in the maze, and only see stationary lights.

Large areas with out lights
Jessica F.

Would give no stars if I could.... Over 1 hr to get in, rude staff, under staffed, out of food and beverages, dirty bathrooms, and to top it off lights out all over the place... and be prepared to hike from your car to the entrance... huge waste of money... nothing but a money grab !!! Don't go!!!!

Kyndal G.

How very Enchanting. We have moved one single block in over half an hour. Poor planning and poor communication. No police officers directing traffic and no instructions on parking. I've never seen worse event management. Looks like these are the only lights we will be seeing this year since we are only able to stay in the park till 11pm and will likely be sitting here for hours longer. Such a waste of money. Ridiculous and disappointing.

Disorganized lights on the big tree

Parking was fine we showed up an hour early so had no trouble, but people arriving later had to park very very far away. This was our first time coming to enchant. Walking up the entrance seemed a bit lacking, but thought it would get better as the sun set which it did, being fair. I paid for VIP tickets. There were 4 entrances to the event and only one of them was VIP, and it was slower moving. If the corded barrier wasn't in the way we could have gone through the regular ones entrance which had no one waiting. Once we got inside,we were limited to only the entrance area until 5:30 on the nose, organized so that's promising. It didn't last. First to see Santa, he was lovely, pictures were $60 or $90 and we weren't given the option to take our own despite the website saying we could. We bought the $90 otherwise we would have gotten one picture, whatever some may think that too expensive others not. Next the food was fair food, overpriced considering what we paid to get in, but these are 3rd party vendors so.. again understandable. We walked into the maze as it got dark and it's not a maze.. it's a gallery of light displays, and not impressive for anyone over the age of 6. I've seem better work done in small town free displays and expected more from something with the Hallmark branding. We waited around until our designated time to ice skate at 7, which we then found out the skate people didn't care about reservations (VIP had never mattered all night). It was obvious given the extreme overcrowding on the ice that there was no oversight, and to compound the problem during our "dedicated time" they decided to zamboni the ice for 20 minutes instead of scheduling that in around people's reservations. Some of the "elves" we're entertaining/singing/tap fancing and we're atrociously bad, comically horribly bad, the immediate 3 X "why are you here" bad. All in all, this experience would have been worth $20 tickets to enter. It was crowded, overpriced, and not even slightly enjoyable or any sort of professional polished experience I expected and paid for. I want my money back, but really doubt that will ever happen.

We came in the morning and decided to drive down. In years past, we've always taken Dart and had a great experience doing so. Driving down to the fair was fine but getting into one of the parking areas was a little tricky. They only let you enter if you are turning right into the lot. So if you are coming from the opposite direction, you have to loop around and join the lane that turns right. We finally made it into one of the fairgrounds parking lots. Cost $25. There are lots of other parking options on private property, some even cost less. We didn't feel comfortable using one of those. It was perfect Fair weather! We entered the fairgrounds near a Chevrolet race track where fair goers could get on a list to test drive some Chevy cars. Before you could drive the sporty cars, you had to drive a less sporty model. There was a huge line so get there early if you plan to be a speed racer! Be sure to grab a map so you can plan your day. You'll also need to buy coupons because the vendors do not deal with cash or credit cards. There are plenty of kiosks you can get your coupons. If you have any leftover coupons at the end of the day, hold on to them. They never expire! I actually brought some with me from a prior year. We made our way to see the animals and it was amazing to see some brand new babies that had just been born less than 12 hours ago! Baby chicks, goats, lambs and cows were adorable. There was a volunteer on hand to answer all our questions about the baby brown cow. A very pregnant pig was in a maternity "stall" to keep her comfortable. We also saw Howdy, Big Tex's steer. We had never been on opening day before, and were unaware of the parade. What a pleasant surprise! Lots of high school bands and cheerleaders, and floats showcasing the sponsors. We made our way to see Big Tex and of course get a Fletcher's corny dog. You have to take a selfie or ask someone to take a picture of your group and Big Tex. We admired his new shirt, jeans and boots. After visiting some of the buildings and seeing everything on our list, we wrapped up our fair day. Everyone had a great time!

Thank you to the many volunteers who orchestrated an amazing Greek Festival. I've been to Greek…read moreFests in AZ, HI, WA and TX, but I would have to say this one was by far the most organized. All of them have a common theme, raise money for the Greek Orthodox Church by selling Mediterranean food as well as arts, crafts, and books while educating the public about the church and the Greek culture. This festival stood out because the volunteers focused on every last detail. Usually you have to stand in one line after another to get anything, but that wasn't the case here. There were so many options for buying tickets and so many volunteers working every station, that we easily spent more time enjoying ourselves than we did standing around in queues That wasn't the case in Honolulu, Hawaii. Trashcans were everywhere and refuse was regularly collected. There is nothing more unappealing than an overflowing trashcan with flies and bees buzzing around the leftovers and then visiting your drink can and the bite you are about to take. Thankfully this festival had a dedicated crew regularly pulling out the trash bags, and carting them away. The place stayed meticulously clean and bug free which is more than I can say for the small one I attended in Bellingham, Washington. Food choices were plentiful and it was served hot and fresh. The standards were on the menu such as gyros, dolomades, and baklava, but you could also get Greek lasagna, lamb chops and Greek sausage. Signs clearly indicated the ingredients of each dish and the number of coupons to purchase them. These were also listed in the lovely program guide. The event took place regardless of rain or shine. Thankfully plentiful seating was available in the shade of a tent as well as en plein air. Entertainment could be heard throughout the venue with loudspeakers positioned everywhere. The stage was a raised platform so that you could see the dancers and musicians perform. The band on Sunday midday was quite good. The male singer had an amazing voice. The children's area was secure and provided an array of activities for the kiddos. They could run around and play without bumping into the public. Lots of kids had face painting done. Parking was nearby and free. I read that you could also pay for valet or take a shuttle bus. We managed to find a free place across the street. I bought tickets online through Eventbrite. General admission was $7 and food coupons were sold in packs of 20 coupons for $20 plus tax. This made it easy to bypass the the lines at will call or the lines for those needing to purchase their tickets and coupons with cash or credit card in person. I loved the wide variety of items in the Agora (marketplace). They sold baby olive trees! There was soap, incense, potpourri, gold and silver jewelry with gemstones, light cotton clothing, intricately carved wooden boxes, beautifully painted nesting dolls and wooden eggs, oil paintings, lamps, etc. We had fun weaving our way through the souk. The aisles were narrow and the tables were packed with unique finds. The history room had maps, art and some explanations of Ancient Greek. There was also a tour of the church were you could learn about some of the iconography, alter setup, clergy vestments, and Greek Orthodox practice. The attention to the details was evident by this amazing group of church volunteers. They demonstrated their passion and friendliness from the moment you walked in the door to the final exit. We were able to find someone to answer our questions every step of the way with the handy guide book, and information desks setup throughout. A woman in a wheelchair even thanked everyone for coming as they left the venue. What an absolutely pleasurable experience.

I am glad I waited 3 years to write this review. This…read morefestival is getting worse and worse and we won't return next year. We are lucky we live close by so we always bike here, so at least we can beat the traffic and the horrific price for parking. First year they ran out of gyros, no joke!!! Second year, no baklava sundae , ran out. This year, not enough that the prices skyrocketed, some vendors didn't even make an effort to print new menus, they literally just crossed prices and put whatever they wanted. Or, they wanted to go with the last year price but seeing all other vendors increased theirs... hmmmm ,, yeah !! Us too! We tried the gyro, no flavor, mediocre at best, so expensive , $12 for just the pita and the meat. No side, and they all wrapped up on trays, God knows how long they stay there. Lamb sliders and fries was our next choice, nothing special there either. Again, store bought slider buns and not enough meat, not tasty, fries also stay under a heat lamp, the frozen type of course. Like can you guys make some effort at least??? Fast paced, long lines, order, pay, GET OUT!!! We were not impressed at all. Best thing was the baklava sundae for sure. So... bye bye OPA! Greek festival. We had enough of your traps.

Last year, we were in the traffic lane to get into the event for OVER TWO HOURS. By the time we got in (we had an entrance time set for 8:30 and walked in just before 11), most vendors were sold out or closed. "Get a refund" you might say? Sure, if they allowed such a basic thing. They only allow you to change your ticket within 48 hours of your scheduled time and they'll charge you another $5 to do it, with no partial refunds if your new day is cheaper. The greed is truly unreal. "Maybe because they have to account for parking in their lot" - if by "lot" you mean the open field where you have an employee telling you "follow that car", sure. We purchased VIP this year knowing our schedule was in flux. Here we are getting in line at 8:30. The entrance is less than a mile away and we have a 20+ minute estimated wait. Just kidding, that's just the thru traffic - we have to get into the actual lane that's going to be the same TWO HOUR wait. The lack of moderation for those who enter and stay inside for 3+ hours and the next to pointless traffic navigators, all topped off with the absolute greed to not mark a day as sold out earlier? I'm going home. Keep the $124 - you clearly need it more than I do. Pathetic.

I am thankful there was a good mixture or "festival food" (like those tornado taters or elephant ears, the food you might like but later haunts you) and the actual Irish and European foods. I was especially happy to see food vendor (right outside automobile building) called Oz Highland Farms. It is strategically placed here because that end of the automobile building is where the Scottish Village is. Oh yes, potential festival go-Er, the vendor has Haggis. They have haggis pups (like haggis bites I guess), and they have Haggis and Mash. I got this and it was a bowl of mashed potatoes with a slice of what can only be described as Haggis Loaf. This was a smart way to do it since it is a fair and it was pretty close to what I remember Haggis tasting like in Scotland. Plenty of exhibitors and food vendors and the music was perfect. Bagpipes playing when you get out of the parking lot (stage is right there). Please note: Go to the NTIF website (https://www.ntif.org) and read the information about parking. Very important to follow those instructions no matter how you have gone to the fairgrounds in the past.
