I was excited to win two VIP tickets through Yelp- thank you Yelp and Bailey! I purchased two more VIP tickets so the whole family could go. Parking was not included ($15 for regular parking and $40 for valet)- nor was skating ($15). When you book online you do have to pick your arrival time so we chose 5:30, which I highly recommend, as it was not as busy as others have mentioned. When you get through the gates, you can walk toward the field to look at the lights from the top and the view is breathtaking. The carolers added to the moment with their beautiful singing. We walked around at the concession level and there were many kiosks offering things like lemonade, hot chocolate, Boba Tea, mini donuts, hot dogs, fruit kebobs, crepes as well as items you can shop for like Christmas decorations. We were here after Christmas so Santa was already back at the North Pole, but there is an area to meet him when he is in town. There was also a Mrs Claus story time area for the little ones. There are a few areas to sit at the top, but there is also the whole stadium seating to sit and enjoy the view. We headed down to the maze and the skating area. Many people were in line for skating so we walked around the maze area. It is quite a wide area that allows for a lot of people to be there at the same time. They have many pretty spots to stop and admire the gorgeous lights. I took way too many photos, but nothing beats seeing this with your own eyes. We took our time strolling through the maze. We spent about an hour and a half at Enchant and we feel as through we saw it all, but we only stood in one line- more about that later. If you plan on skating you will be here a little longer. As I said I paid for 2 VIP tickets which costs $30 each more than the regular tickets. On the web site Enchant states that you get access to the VIP area, a souvenir, a drink and other exclusive perks. When we arrived the VIP line was longer and slower than the regular line so no winning there. The VIP area does allow for a nice view of the lights and they have tables, 3 heaters and one small fire pit. They were giving out smore packages to take home as well as a medal- geared towards kids. They had one bartender making drinks for the whole VIP area so there was a long line here. You can't see what they offer or what your VIP drink consists of until you get up to the bar area where they have one piece of paper at the counter that lists prices. Lots of people had drinks in lightbulb cups that were cute, but not included with the VIP drink. The VIP drink is a small plastic cup drink. It is hard to justify the $30 VIP experience. There were shorter lines on the concession level and you can get a similar view and a cheaper drink for way less than $30. Overall, a beautiful, relaxing experience- but regular tickets are all you need.

Pretty underwhelming and a bit disappointing I'd say. They market it to be like a hallmark movie, but there were no fake or real Christmas trees brought in, only tons of metal sculptured trees to hand lights on. All you see is metal and lights everywhere. I thought that for the price it definitely wasn't worth it. And then to top it off, if you want an alcoholic beverage it costs an additional $18. It is pretty to see the lights, but not as expected.

My bf and I were excited to go to Enchant for Sunday date night. We were hoping it wouldn't be too busy but it was pretty packed. It was a cool experience but we wouldn't go back. PROS: -It was well organized despite how busy it was. There were people managing the traffic in the parking lot and inside the venue. -The production was beautiful and the light maze was really cute. CONS: -It's expensive. $10 for parking and another ~$34 for general admission. -Ice skating is $18/person which is pretty steep. -We wanted to check out the ice bar but it was $40 just to get in! The staff said that it comes with 3 vodka drinks but didn't specify whether what kind. -There wasn't a lot that you could get for GA admission. We walked around to check out the shops but some of them were vacant. I liked the concept but it was just too expensive for what you get. There are many other places to see Christmas lights for much cheaper.

Definitely a beautiful experience. We had so much fun in the maze! We took lots of pictures and they gave live music and small shows too! They have fair food- which I love! Take your fam!

I really wanted to like this event, but I just found myself disappointed. The maze is beautiful, but it is very limited in size to fit within the confines of the baseball field. The main concourse of the stands is turned into a flea-market of individual stands - most of which are not worth the money. For the price and hype, we expected MUCH more. If you are bringing little ones, they will have a ball, but for adults, it was a total waste of money. (and no - I am not a Grinch!!)

This was our second time visiting Enchant Christmas in Scottsdale and it was MAGICAL! This year we took our kids and they are still asking to go back! We went ice skating, made smores and had so much fun! Definitely will be a family tradition .

Paid extra to be let in at a specific time, over an hour wait and the venue is not letting anyone in.

Shady event with terrible customer service. "Holiday Light Experience at Salt River Fields" changed their name, they were previously called "Enchant Christmas". So much negative feedback on social they're trying to come off as a different company. Paid VIP for a specific time slot and was held at the gate for over an hour because they were not letting anyone in. When I contacted their support for a refund to simply pay the difference for the entry time I was let in they told me I was lying and ignored. Good thing I had photos and video with time stamps or else they would have gotten away with it. Terribly organized, overprice and shady customer service.

This was just like stepping into a Hallmark movie. It was so magical and very well done. Twinkling lights, statues, tunnels, trees and even an ice skating rink!!! Just beautiful! So many photo opps for those so inclined. Great for adults and kids as well. Snacks and drinks, even adult beverages, available for purchase as well as all kinds of souvenirs. It even "snows". I highly recommend this event!

Review of Enchant Christmas 2022 presented by Hallmark at Salt River Fields in the area of our current stomping ground! I want to thank Yelp and our community managers Bailey L. and Gretel Y. for the ticket give-away! Learning giveaways do not have a Yelp page I thought it was still important to share the experience to help others come prepared. Online reservations required. Dress warm! Extra warm like your going to the snow. Warm socks are a must and mittens or gloves for the kids. It is cold out at night and it is even colder down on the field! You want to be able to feel your toes when heading home! No joke! I am not sure if the $10 parking fee option is considered their vallet parking lot in front of the entrance, but get it if you don't want to walk. If you don't mind a stroll you will be parking in the dirt fields down from the field and taking the sidewalk down onto the property. Bring a generous pocketbook! Be prepared to spend. Admission is $20 to $34 per person 3 and up. Plus tax and service fee. An additional $15 per child and $30 if you want to purchase additional VIP tickets. Wednesday - Thursday and Sunday I would say not necessary unless you just want it. Mainly would only benefit visiting Santa line Fri-Sun. It is $18 to ice skate per person. First come first serve. Limited amount of people allowed on ice at a time and it is timed. Even if VIP you must have purchased your ice-skating tickets online ahead of time. Dont worry if you decide to upgrade to VIP at the event you may. I couldn't figure out how to do it on the website so you can head to your immediate left when you first walk in to guest services for assistance. If visiting Fri-Sunday to see Santa go early! As soon as you arrive you will head to the right walk down a ways up the steps to your right and stand in line. We waited over 1.5 hours. There were 9 families before us including VIP walk ups. We thought more was going on behind closed doors, but it was just photos for Santa. Way too slow moving. Once in the door there is more bit of a wait inside. For some reason it was colder inside! Brrr. The elves are so much fun and Santa was great! When exiting Santa you will see a booth to your right where you can purchase photos. $39 for 1 or $72 4. They print them out on the spot and only available to purchase at the event. You will get a QR code that pulls them up. At the other end headed back past the entrances left I assume is the Mrs. Claus experience where she reads a book and children can make a craft and color. They have hotdogs, fries, drinks, chocolate covered fruit and drinks to the right. Head left of the entrance for more food, adult drinks and the soft pretzels. There are some great vendors selling food, wind chimes, jerky etc. You can even buy Enchant merchandise. The maze is beautiful! No strollers allowed in Maze, but okay at event. You will park them at stroller parking. The maze isn't tight. It is wide and open and don't forget even colder than upper level You will receive a card to stamp. All 9 reindeer are there to find in the maze. There is a table with stamps at each reindeer to stamp in your book. Once complete you can fill out the back and place them at the Hallmark mailbox located inside the entrance to the left when you first had walked in. It puts you on a sweepstakes. So many beautiful areas set up for photo ops. We had a great time!

Prancer!

Id like to thank Yelp Elite and Enchant for the tickets! My family and I attended on Sunday Nov 29 at 5pm and had a great time! The pros: The lights, decorations and just the whole vibe was beautiful. The maze to find Santa's reindeers gave us something to do. Everyone working there was very nice. We didn't have to walk too far from the parking lot and we didn't wait in line for anything. Last but not least- Mr. Nelson's cookies were amazing! Not sure if all the booths were supposed to have vendors when we went; but there were many that were empty. Now for the cons: I am again very grateful we got 2 tickets for this event because they are on the expensive side. Each adult ticket is about 40 ish dollars. That includes entrance. Parking is about 10$ (which is the cheapest option). Ice skating was about 18$ per person. Obviously food and drinks are additional. Even for our family of 3 if we would have had to pay full price for the experience we probably would have opted for something more affordable. Although we didn't experienced it some people do have to wait in line and walk if they parked farther away. There is also no strollers allowed in the maze- but you can leave them parked and they'll watch them for you! Overall the experience is beautiful and truly Enchanting like a Hallmark Christmas movie. But I do always keep in mind budget for my reviews hence why the 4 stars Some things to keep in mind if you are going!

3D glasses, definitely would make it very difficult to drive

Loved this holiday light display! I bought our ticket on Black Friday, so it was discounted ($25) for the Saturday night display. Big piece of advice, read the email they send out, because they tell you exactly where to go to wait in line! My husband almost didn't believe me because we saw a huge line of cars, but we went in where the email told us, and there were only about 3 cars in front of us. They are super organized and get you in fairly quickly. We did purchase the 3D glasses, mainly because the money goes to charity. Fair warning though, they're kaleidoscope glasses - definitely do not wear if you're the one driving!! See pics below. We enjoyed the various displays and loved seeing Santa towards the end. The lights didn't really go with the music, so you can honestly listen to whatever music you want to! I'm glad I didn't pay the $45 price tag to get in overall, but it does go to charity, so definitely a good way to give back a bit and have a nice little date night!

I had an awesome opportunity to once again attend the Enchant Christmas by Hallmark. I was looking forward to it as last year was a blast. They had a new lights maze with the story of the Elf and the lost toys this year. There seemed to be more food options like turkey legs, pizza, crepes, kabobs, and Frybreads. I myself am a huge fan of hot chocolate and the crepes! This was such a great kick-off to the Christmas season and enjoyable for all ages! I also bought some beautifully made presents for loved ones at the shop in the village! I am looking forward to next year's theme and would recommend all family dynamics to enjoy!!

Really cute Christmas Wonderland set up right in Scottsdale. There are so many lights and Instagram-worthy spots to take single & couple pics. I went with a friend and we got a lot of amazing shots on sleighs, on dance floors, on benches that were lit up just right. The hot cocoa was delicious as well as the mocktails & cocktails. The decorative lightbulb cup was probably my favorite! The maze is probably the best thing to do and the little reindeer scavenger hunt is worth the run-around. I will say that I don't think I've seen a more beautiful ice skating rink, it was breathtaking!

The Scottsdale Culinary Festival is two days of food, drinks and entertainment spread out around…read morethe Scottsdale Civic Center Mall. Calling the event a "culinary" festival might be misleading but "The Food, Wine, Beer, and Music Festival" is kind of long and not very exciting. When you arrive, do not pay for parking because there is plenty of free parking around the area. You can use the money you saved to buy your food tickets to spend at the festival. I got discounted tickets online (2 for $10) from coupon site. These were general entry tickets and did not include food tickets or the Beer Garden and VIP areas. But, did include areas like: Big Green Egg Grill-tainment Zone, Kid's Zone, Teen Cook-Off, and 3 music stages. The event makes great use of both indoor and outdoor space around the center which include the outdoor amphitheater, water fountains, a lagoon, and Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. We went on Sunday, which was the second and last day of the festival. It was a breezy afternoon but felt warm-ish due to minimal shade. Luckily, many of the booth lines were short, if there was a line at all. Lots of the vendors gave out freebies like coupons, stickers, energy drinks and snack bars. There were many different booths to choose from but not everything we tried was that good. It is really just depends what you pick. However, a few of my favorite tasty items from the day were: Fried Mac N' Cheese Bites with Chipotle Aioli from Aioli Burger, Honey Sesame Chicken Biscuit from Two Brothers and Bailey's Cheesecake Beignets from the Beignet Babe. If day-drinking is your thing, buy tickets for the Beer Garden and you'll probably be happy. If people watching is your thing this event provides plenty of opportunity to do so. And if listening to music while trying food and drinks is your thing, then you'll enjoy spending time at the Scottsdale Culinary Festival.

Almost everything you wanted to eat you could find here, a…read morelittle bit of everything. A plethora of Food Trucks, Food Stations, Beer and Wine Gardens. They also had two stages with Live Bands, a Kids Zone and more.
