First day admission isa dollar sothat's good but after that you gotta buy aminimal often tickets for rides. Idon't ride those but the people II was withdo. Some people were very friendly but overall the majority ofpeople werenot. Shame but it's asmall fair ina small town sowhat doyou expect? Ps; the festival oflights isvery fun though!

If Icould give half astar rating Iwould. This place isan absolute joke. Everything setup wise isa joketoo. Food was absolutely horrible. Everything was overpriced specially the food like aportion for atoddler. Iwouldn’t waste your money ortime here honestly. The wait for everything was not worth iteither.

The Wonderland ofLights. Itwas not what she expected. Very poor decoration. There are very few lights and Santa Claus was not there. The place islarge and comfortable but itwas not decorated aswe expected. Ithink they should improve itbecause itis not worth what Ipaid for the tickets. These fair are small.

What awaste oftime and money… $25percar, gas and mileage ondisplays oflights that have nothing todo with Christmas… cougars, air balloon, raccoons, dragons? There was nolight show unless you consider blinking lights ashow… 2mile drive oflights?… please…
You're better off driving around fancy neighborhoods that actually put some money into worthwhile displays and they are free…what ajip!00

The Festival ofLights was FANTASTIC! Iloved how they made anod toFlorida and our culture alongside the traditional Christmas/winter scenes. Itwas areally fun display.
Totally worth the $25entryfee. Ifyou participate please remember toturn off your headlights. Itmakes itmuch more enjoyable for all the other participants.The camels were aninteresting exhibit. The Santa Town was alittle smaller than Iexpected with only ahandful ofvendors.
I would highly recommend ifyou enjoy
Christmas light displays.… – show00

Very unimpressive light show. Traffic getting inwas anightmare and cops were sitting intheir cars looking atphones while people had todangerously cross the road and battle togetin. Save your $25and find something better todo!

Great concept! Isaw the article from news with short videos and pics.so. Wewent last Saturday at8pm. wearrived toa mile line togetin..when wefinally gotin, wehad anokay time, only because wemake ourfun. That being said, the tunnel oflights is2car lengths, and the lights are spreadout. Some cool displays unique tothe Florida lifestyle, but many were just not impressive. They should just put them inone area and have awalk through…I wouldn't have been nearly asdisappointedif wehadn't paid $25for 15minutes.
We had grandkids and were going togo inSanta's village, but the only lively place was the covered area with music…Spanish music…not Christmas music…and the only people there were adults drinking and dancing..,not afamily friendly environment. Atleast give ussome hot chocolate orsonething....geez
So Iwouldn't recommendit, and wewon't goback. Wewill goback todriving for anhour and seeing random lights wehappen upon…… – show00

Festival oflights was horrible! People were holding other peopleup, the people that were giving directions pointed usout ofthe place instead ofshowing uswhere topark. Ipaid $25just tosee some lights for 2miles and that’s it Disappointing and not the best experience!

Had avery negative experience with the Festival ofLights… weprepaid for our car and waited for over anhour tonot even get 1/2way through the line. Iwould not recommend purchasing your tickets inadvanced asyou (and many others) may not make itto the entrance bythe time they close.

Very pricey lights drive through with very little effort putin. After visiting lights drive throughs in2other states, Iam very disappointed. The main attractions are waiting inline and parking. Iwould not waste the 25dollars toattend this let down.

Attended this fair onits openingday. It’s avery TINY fair. Noexhibition building except the county resident competition exhibits. Also, Ithink the county should hire adifferent company for the Midway rides. They had quite afew, but they all looked reallyold, rusty, and falling apart! Inmy opinion, they all looked unsafe because oftheirage. Loved the Frisbee dogs!

2021rodeo, over-crowded, parents not caring their children made people around them miserable, rarely amask seen orthe mask was partially covering their face. Tried toenjoy watching the rodeo performers, they work hard and land hard. Liked the announcer they had afew years ago better than thisone.
