The rides, animals, corn maze, corn pit, and pumpkin stand were so much fun. I liked the corn maze wasn't overly big but it was just the right size. My kids loved going on the rides as many times as they could. They had the carousel, tea cups, swings, and many other rides. the pumpkins they were selling were good sized and there were many varieties. They had portable potty's for customers to use. We came during the day and there was a food stand selling Mexican style corn on the cob and drinks. There's also a little general store that sold popcorn, Carmel apples, ice cream and fruit. I will definitely be back several times before the season ends.

I brought my stroller and after I left there were so many stickers in the wheels of my stroller. I also wish there was more shade. They have rides but I honestly don't get the height requirements. They make no sense. The rides are mainly small carnival type rides. Most of the height requirements are about 42 inches. You go to Disneyland and a lot of big rides such as Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain and Guardians of the Galaxy all have a height requirement of 40 inches. Those are big thrill rides there their height requirement is less than a small carnival ride. It's so weird to me. My baby was able to go on 3 rides. I think they were understaffed or something because they didn't have a worker at every ride. You would get to a ride and have to wait for a worker to come over. I also waited a very long time for the hayride. The line wasn't long but we waited a long time for them to get a worker to come over. I would come back but only if I win free tickets again. This isn't a place I would want to pay full price for.

It has now been nearly a full year since I purchased two adult tickets for the Light Fest Lantern…read moreFestival, originally scheduled for July 2024. At the time of purchase, I also paid for the offered insurance, which clearly stated that a full refund would be provided if cancellation was necessary. However, my experience could not have been further from what was promised. The festival itself was canceled due to a fire ban -- understandable given safety concerns -- but it was then rescheduled for October 2024. Unfortunately, I was going to be out of town during the new date, and I immediately took all the necessary steps to cancel my tickets. I canceled through their website and sent multiple emails as directed. Each time, I received automated responses claiming that someone would reach out to me to process my refund. That outreach never happened. Despite my repeated attempts -- over an entire year -- to obtain the refund I was owed, I have still not received a single dollar of the $150 I paid. Instead, I was continually given empty promises and automated emails. The so-called "insurance" I paid for turned out to be entirely fraudulent. It exists purely to make customers think they are protected when in reality, Light Fest seems to have no intention of honoring it. This operation is nothing short of a scam. If the event is canceled or rescheduled for any reason, do not expect to get your money back, no matter what the insurance policy claims. Light Fest took my money and ignored my refund requests for over a year. In conclusion: Avoid Light Fest at all costs. Their customer service is nonexistent, their insurance is a scam, and their business practices are deeply dishonest. Save yourself the time, frustration, and financial loss. These people are crooks, and they should not be trusted

Me and my boyfriend just went to the Lights Fest 10/12 in Grantsville Utah. This was by the Lights…read moreFest, not the Night Lights Event!!! To start, parking was $30. The tickets were already $47 so what the hell?? At the Night Lights, you don't pay for parking (at least we didn't). Okay now to the fun stuff! I know it's cold, it's October, but omg, it was freezing. They only had some tiki torches towards the front and that was it. At the Night Lights, they had heating lamps scattered through the whole area. We get there and I already knew off the bat that the security wasn't good because they didn't check in any bags that I saw. At the Night Lights, they made us shake our blankets and checked our bags. With everything going on in the world, a shooting could've easily taken place. We sit down and realize that there's only 5 FOOD TRUCKS.. 5.. for hundreds of people.. a churro one, an argentinian one, Mexican food, Juice, and American food (tenders, fries, etc.) We waited in line for a little over an hour.. for 3 tenders & a little bit of fries.. $26 EACH?? It said on the menu "pick your own side" so we did just that but when we got the receipt, they upcharged you for some of the sides (we got garlic fries and it was $2 more). At the Night Lights, there was countless food trucks, i'm going to estimate around 20. We spent about $60 for churros, burger and fries, plus drinks. I understand that the event coordinators aren't responsible for that but still. Very overpriced food. Side note, the music was damn horribleee!! At the Night Lights, the music was great. it was upbeat and different genres. At this one, it was just plain BAD. Anyways, as soon as we sit down, they're already talking about lighting the lanterns, barely any time to eat, decorate our lanterns, etc. When everybody was just about to light the lanterns, they say over the speakers to go buy lighters at the merchandise table.. ARE YOU SERIOUS?? That's so damn frustrating. When they said it was time to start lighting your lanterns, half of the people couldn't because they had no lighters.. At the Night Lights, they gave you a lighter, prayer flags, and a pen in the lantern kit. You also get a cute Golden Ticket for memories and a cute wrist band for each person. Luckily, me and my boyfriend brought a lighter and there were surrounding people that were asking us to use ours which we had no problem sharing but it's so sad that all of these people got scammed.. couldn't even light their lantern. Coming out of the parking lot to our car, there were no directions on how to get out. We went the wrong way TWICE and there were maybe 40 cars following us because they didn't know either. The coordination was horrible. At the Night Lights, they had people directing traffic as the cars came in and went out. This event was just plain bad. If you ever want to go to a lantern festival, I 110% recommend the Night Lights Event. You can also buy a s'mores kit and cute blankets at the Night Lights!!

Once inside, you have two hours before your card expires. Everyone has a light that allows you to see hidden messages and pictures. You even have the option to play scavenger hunt games to win small prizes. There are also lots of interactive pieces in the exhibit, so I recommend bringing some hand sanitizer. The exhibit itself is very immersive and enchanting! It was very cool, and even our toddler loved it. Overall, I highly recommend this for both families and couples!

Our favorite part was Bob, the talking fish who can talk to you in real time using AI. Plan on at least an hour for this experience, but more if you want to do all of the quests and searches they have. I'm minusing a star because it was beyond irritating to make a reservation. You have to give them your physical address, phone number, email, and birthday, including day, month and year. You also had to sign a waiver. When you go to places like Lagoon you don't need to sign a waiver. This place is literally just walking around. They should do something where you agree to their terms when you buy the ticket and don't have to sign a waiver. Also, even though we bought our tickets in advance, we still had to wait in line with all of the people buying their tickets at the entrance, so buying ahead didn't save any time. We had to wait for 40 minutes to actually begin the experience. In a nutshell, if you've been to Disneyland, this place is like waiting in line at Disneyland.

Plenty of decent vendors, a lot of overpriced food, rides that cost too much money, and plenty of performances all day long of local groups. It's fun to just walk around and maybe splurge a little on a few rides and a funnel cake, but unless you have kids and want to spend a bunch of money, everything here seems expensive for what it is.

There is a lab where you can see in through a glass window butterflies being created and forming. Folks working there are super nice. It's definitely more kid and family friendly but I do enjoy going on my own and learned some things from the signs. Very pretty space too. The fossil space had a lot of information and I like their put together info about when the animal lived, where fossils were found and more information about the period the animal lived in.

However, I appreciate the uniqueness of the small businesses and the slower pace. Sure, I miss the occasional cocktail, but I also don't mind dry entertainment. Last night's adventure brought me to a live music event here at Velour. I did a little research ahead of time and learned that seating is extremely limited, as is the parking. So come early, in comfy shoes, and set your expectations accordingly. The ambience inside is sort of dark, moody and intimate. There's a dramatic feel to the place, without any (obvious) drama. Doors didn't open until 6:30, and there was a line along the sidewalk of folks waiting to get in. That added to the "big city" feel of the place, even for a not-so-big city. The acoustics were good, if not a tad loud. (Yup, I'm showing my age.) The lighting was colorful and energetic, not just a boring stagnant few slights. I would likely return to see a lively act that I'm really interested in-someone that I wouldn't mind standing in a crowd of people to watch.
