We had a great time at Illumination! The lights and the music were wonderful and they had the concessions and warming stations spread throughout the path in case you got too cold along the way. I would recommend this Christmastime event to all!
Wow! I've lived here my whole life and finally made it to the lights this year! I wish I would have gone sooner! It was pure magic! Next year I'll go during week when it's not so busy, there were SO many people! I was very impressed with the whole operation though! The shuttles for parking were great! You could tell they had every detail worked out. So worth it even with the crowds!
We went at dusk and it was just as beautiful and less crowded than at peak times.
Illumination experience was fantastic!! Nice family holiday tradition. Year #3.
Illumination absolutely exceeded my expectations. We live near the Arboretum so we've driven by many times and seen the lights from Rt. 53. SO glad we went! They've put together some really imaginative and amazing light displays. I would definitely recommend going. My only caution would be: make certain you're dressed warmly!
Yes it was crowded but not too bad. I guess i was expecting more from the lights and music. I thought they could have had more lights and music linked to the light movement. I guess im saying the price was too much for the quick mile walk and the lights.
Another awesome year at Illumination with family. Recommend you bring your own stuff to make Smores with sticks at the firepits. The Smores kits sold at concessions are typically stale and ruin the experience. Use the restrooms early as the walk will take about 1+ hrs.
I went for the first time last night . I had know idea what to expect but o loved it. Beautiful lights that go with the music. The concession stand employees wee friendly and fun to talk with. I recommend that ppl should to see for themselves.
My husband and I felt like kids again at Illumination. It was so magical and breathtaking. We loved the fire pits and warming tents. The hot cocoa was perfect. Even though it was cold outside, ours hearts were warm. We highly recommend this experience! The illumedallions were neat..kids definitely would love them!
