Amazing light show. We took so many pictures and video clips. We had a wonderful time walking around the grounds and viewing the different displays. I loved that they really honored nature in the lighting. The other attendees were having fun as well. The peppermint hot chocolate was so yummy!

There was a line of cars waiting up to an hour to turn into the arboretum for Winter Lights. Perhaps it was because it was opening night. It was a really fun atmosphere. The trolls were so charming. The lights were fantastic! Go into the Winter Lights gift shop to see the animatronic animals singing Christmas songs. Admission price is per carload. It’s a great deal if you have a big family, not so much for a couple. You can save $5 on admission if you are a member and get free parking. Parking is $20 for non-members. It was a fun experience!

A must see holiday experience. Everything was beautiful. Good for the whole family. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance. 🎄❄️

We had a great time visiting winter lights! Wish it was a little more accessible, especially near the quilt pattern lights. My mom could not walk up the stairs to see it.

It was great to experience the trolls, but if you wanted to get a picture with it, not being pink or purple, you had to wait-a-bit as the lights rotated. The colorful lights were great. The gift shops were pretty expensive.

My daughters loved it! My toddler was asking to go back to the North Pole because she thought that's where we went since it was just so lit up and magical

Lights were nice, had scheduled entry time at 8pm. Got to see most of the displays. Went down to the section where they had the two model trains displayed going around the track at 9:45pm and the event workers were already packing up the trains for the night!!! We did not get to see them running around the track. The event information states the event closes down at 10:00pm!!!! As we were walking back up the steps from the train display a family with young kids were hurrying down the steps to see the trains, little did they know the trains were all removed from the track! I’m sure the kids were disappointed! The event staff should not be packing up their displays until the actual closing time that it is advertised to be opened to.
