Went here on a Tuesday for Magical Winter Lights. The lights were actually pretty impressive and i definitely recommend! However, if you have a bigger group and kids who arent free, it is expensive. It might only take about an hour to walk through the lights. The displays are large and beautiful though, not just lawn ornaments. I was glad to have purchased these tickets through Groupon for $20/adult (vs $28). My 2 year old was free. I think it was worth the money since we only spent $40 on admission and our toddler LOVED the bounce house, but i wish we spent more time there. We were only there for 2.25 hours because she was getting out of control. If we were only adults, not sure if i would have gone tbh.
We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and spent the first hour of daylight in the ginormous bounce house. We had a blast! I recommend arriving early just for this so you can have the bounce house all to yourself. ($5 for 3yo+).
Now here is why i took off 1 star. The workers were standing right next to my stroller smoking! I could literally smell it as I'm jumping before I even saw them smoking. My boyfriend had to tell them to please not smoke. They weren't even apologetic and seemed annoyed.
I will also add that as we were walking to the back where the carnival area was, we passed by 2 workers who were smoking in 2 different areas. But it was the smoking right next to the bounce house that really irked us.
When I got out of the bounce house (1 hour later), this other guy told me I had to pay $5 and that only my toddler was free. The previous 2 guys literally just gave me a wrist band and told me I was able to go in with my toddler. They accept cash only though, which I did not have, otherwise I would've paid.
Food and games accept credit card. We spent $20 for this bean bag toss and won a small axolotl stuffed animal (pricey). Also spent $23 on a huge and delicious torta and hibiscus drink (both shareable). There are also some small souvenir/gift shops.
Anyways, I didnt see any other rides although I thought there was supposed to be a carousel? I thought there was an option for $20 unlimited rides? My fault for not asking though. My toddler was stressing us out because she kept wanting to go to the bounce house, but we didn't have cash. I saw an ATM on the map, but we didnt have a debit card anyway. Parking was ample and free at least.
Also, we were only able to watch a little bit of the acrobat show (the lion dance) because of our restless toddler, but I think that was definitely a perk. read more
