How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Great show! We got there about 6:30 and parking was easy. Beautiful displays and watching the delight of little kids was one of the best parts. I took lots of pictures and we will be back next year.

We went for their Halloween light display. Absolutely fabulous. There so many displays. I have much admiration for the team that organized and set up the month long event. There were quite a few interactive offerings for kids and adults. Our ages ranged from 3 to 70. So much fun. I would next next year, too

This place is pretty neat! A bit expensive but a cool experience. I do recommend buying the tickets online and adding the food option (saves a lot of money) There’s lots of lights and things to look at. It is dirt so wear appropriate shoes & grab a jacket. There’s tons of lights and interactive games. All ages enjoy this kind of thing! The food depending on what you get can be good. They had a lot of issues the night we went. We had cold chicken and salty burgers but the fries were hot n fresh!

Bright Nights was a fun event. I just wish they had a better food vendor. There was only one vendor for dinner and the line was long, wait time was long after ordering and the food ended up being served cold (not ideal for brisket or pork) It was sad that they didn't have the meat on the flat top or grill. I also saw the girls working harder than the one guy there to try and help everyone. Not sure if I would be $25 to go again.
