They have probably have about 15 ornate floats, plus bands and other acts. They throw quite a bit, but for me, the fun is not in catching throws so much as looking at the floats and seeing how excited the little kids get over all of the throws they catch. They get pretty excited over this one. If you don't feel up to fighting the crowds and traffic or forking out an outrageous amount for parking in Mobile, just go watch the Shadow Barons. You won't be disappointed.

The price as of 2023 is $17pp for anyone over 12. It was free for kids under 4 and $12 for kids under 12. I have 3 teens. There was no student or senior discount. So it was a cool $100 with tax. But my, was it worth the price. I've seen lots of light displays. This one was one of the best. I loved the fact that it was one long continuous display that you walk through, that makes it much more immersive. It was romantic and lovely which makes it great for couples, but still welcoming for kids. We got there later around 7:30. Parking was free. There were no parking attendants that I saw and not designated handicapped section. Luckily my hubby as a professional driver and found a good spot up close. They took cards at the door and though the line was long we didn't wait too long. If you can, buy ahead online. That line was way shorter. Google coupons. I did see some online but they don't allow you to purchase tix the day of your visit, or at least when I tried which was only an hour before we went. One thing I wish I'd seen or had been notified of: there was a cell phone tour at the beginning and I missed it. I also wish they'd given me a map and showed me the QR code at the beginning. I feel like because of that omission, I missed some things (from looking at other peoples pictures.) But the lights! They're all done to the theme of botanical gardens. So they're mostly flowers and things you would see in a garden. Like beautiful swans. Lovely lily pads. A rose garden made of lights. Everything was tasteful and not gaudy. And Everything reflected in the pond was so beautiful. I think you definitely want to go at night. There are themed sections, like the Underwater Garden, a Mardi Gras section, and the Japanese garden. There was a Coca Cola section but they kept it small and tasteful. I appreciated the life-sized nativity scene. The flowers in some places were taller than my son who is taller than me now. I felt a little like Alice in Wonderland. I feel like my words can't do this place justice, just like my pictures can't, and I think that has to do with the scale of everything. There was just SO MUCH. and it was SO BIG. and around every corner, there seemed to be another nice surprise. Master decorators must have decked this place out. They did AMAZING job. Everything was tasteful too, just what you'd expect at a botanical gardens. Unfortunately I would have to say that it's not very wheelchair friendly. Probably not stroller either. There are steep hills and cobblestones and sharp turns. They did have wagons and wheelchairs for rent at the front. But I think if you are trying to push or pull a vehicle along those paths, you're going to have a hard time. If you bring a stroller, bring your heavy duty one. There were also not really enough benches for resting. There were places they could have put them but didn't. My daughter has Down syndrome and some leg issues and needs frequent rests. It was difficult for her the last leg of the journey. They had refreshment stands scattered around. Some had beer & wine. I drink seldom so I didn't check the price. Others had hot dogs For $4. We stopped for hot cocoa and s'mores. The cocoa was $4 a cup and was delicious. The s'mores looked good but were $6 a piece so we opted for sticks with a marshmallow for $1 and we toasted them on nearby fire pits where there were plenty of chairs to sit in and toast ourselves by the fire. Very nice touch. The service was pleasant when we encountered it. They did take cards, a plus. We started late so we finished late. We started at 8. The last tickets are available at 9. We left at 9:30 and the gift shop and cafe and Santa were closed. Just to give you a heads up - get to that portion, which is at the beginning, before 9. It did take us about 1.5 hours to walk through and we stopped several times. I am not in the best shape and I was tired afterwards. If you're in bad shape physically it might be too challenging for you. They need outdoor bathrooms by the gate. We couldn't find any when we left after hours because the gift shop was closed. A porta potty or two would do. Also they need more trash cans and benches like I already mentioned. When we finally came across a trash can it was overflowing with cocoa cups that people had been carrying for an hour through the park. There were also no attendants anywhere to be seen throughout the park except at the refreshment stands. The lights were romantic and I would definitely like to go again with just me and my husband. Worth the price all the way. In conclusion it was a beautiful sight and despite some bumps I still give it five stars. At least now you know what those bumps are! Merry Christmas everyone!

When we arrived there were people guiding us into parking, which was free. As we were walking to…read morethe entrance, I noticed the director telling them that the people who were coming in were handicapped. They gave them a different parking spot and also had a little cart to go pick them up. They all had walkie-talkies to make it more efficient and the flow to be smooth. When we got to the entrance they had 2 separate lines. They both were for everyone. Once we got to the front and inside the entrance they directed you to go to one of multiple cashiers. They accept cash or cards. The staff were kind and courteous. The facility was clean, inviting, very appealing to the senses, and well maintained. There is a gift shop as well as a small cafe. They had down home meals for purchase. Peas, cornbread, chicken, Mac and cheese, cobbler, rolls and a few other things more suitable for little palates. Walking through the gardens was an adventure for the young and old. It gives you so many different feelings and emotions. There is definitely something for everyone. You should definitely take the time to stop by. I'm so very glad I got to experience this. Location 5 Cleanliness 5 Quality 5 Customer service 5 Price 5 25/5 = 5
