The indoor market was cute but I do wish it had a little more. The light display was amazing. It isn't too spread out which is perfect for families with younger kids. It was an awesome night and we will definitely make it a yearly tradition.

Wheelchairs would be very difficult to maneuver through gravel and snow unless they have heavy duty tires. Plus it is hilly. So we drove through an amazing display. The best drive through light display we have done yet. My brother was wowed and me too. So much fun. When you arrive they give you a tag for your rear view mirror. Then drive around the corner to enter. You can go through more than once. We even saw Santa at the end and he came to the car to say "hi." My niece visited on a regular night and she was impressed with the holiday village and the lights.

We paid for the meet and greet and also explored the museum, which had several Gabby themed activities in addition to the regular exhibits. While the museum isn't necessarily our favorite, I'm glad my daughter had a great time. She especially loved meeting and hugging Gabby! Her favorite area of the museum was the toddler area, particularly the water and play areas. My husband and I also really enjoyed watching her paint and get creative. Another thing we loved was the little hand-washing stations where kids can learn to wash and dry their hands independently. It encourages good habits while making it fun for them. Overall, it was a nice family outing, and seeing how excited my daughter was to meet Gabby made the visit worthwhile!

No entry fee but a donation is encouraged and honestly to keep the facility this way, I always pay the recommended amount and then some. Every year, we come to Como Town at a minimum 1-2 times per summer. I would highly encourage people to walk up to the ticket booth to see which rides are not operational and then assess whether they want to buy the ride bands or not. This was our 2nd time this summer and unfortunately the rides that were not operational in early June were the same rides still out of commission in late July including the roller coaster so docking a star for that. Plus, pro tip: hold your breadth when using the bathrooms here! On the positive side - this amusement park is very affordable (see ticket price pic). Staff is friendly even with them clearly being short staffed. Lines are always short with the longest wait time that I've ever observed is less than 10 minutes. Free (see above) entry. A couple of concession stands with all the sugary delights plus you can walk into the welcome center where there are more food options.

Think of it as the cute, mini version of the Irish Fair? They have heavy games (caber toss for the win), highland dancing, pipe bands, clan tents, celtic music, a Scottish marketplace, food and drink, and some classic (European) cars - including one previously owned and signed by the Spice Girls? I was all in. The food and drink selection aren't extensive, but they do the trick. As long as I can get a few pints from McCracken Pub - or a wee dram of scotch if I'm feeling feisty - I'm a happy fair-goer. There was also an ice cream truck (golf cart) cruising around! It was blazing hot today, but still glad we all went. Looking forward to see what next year's new venue has to offer.

Scottish Fest used to be one of my favorite festivals. But it has really gone downhill in the past…read morefew years. First of all, they keep moving the location and the date. This year was in some obscure church parking lot. And July is WAY too hot for people wearing wool. It used to be in May which was perfect. They've lost a lot of vendors over the years. There was ONE vendor selling anything resembling Scottish food. Hardly any merch vendors anymore, the few that were there are also at every local festival. The sheep herding demonstration that was advertised never happened, we waited until well after 4 for it. In general, unless you can get there in the morning when the highland dance competition is going on, there is little to see. We arrived shortly after noon and felt quite ripped off. There was an out-of-tune brass band (WTF) playing, the only dancing that was happening was the uninclusive Royal Scottish group, and we kept trying to find the heavy games, but all there was were a bunch of people standing around. ONE pipe band played the entire time we were there. Really, $17 per person is WAY too expensive for what we were able to see. They should really discount heavily the price of admission after 12pm, as there is nothing to see or do. We were very disappointed. There are other ethnic festivals that have FREE admission that you get to see and hear much more. Please, Scottish Fair, fix your festival!

It was pretty hot, but we found some shady spots to take a rest, and it wasn't nearly as crowded as I was expecting. Also, the free shuttle bus running on Summit was great. I think we'll be checking this out next year!
