Vegas Festival Of Lights

It felt like we had the place to ourselves! My family and friends had a great time. It's $10 plus $2 in fees online just for entry to the lights. The rides make it worth it so I would recommend the 2 or 4 pack entry plus unlimited rides for $44 or $88. It's open until January 7th so check it out!LIGHTSGeneral entry gets you access to the lights and the lights have to be walked through or you can take the train. You also have to walk through all the lights before getting to the games. The signs weren't that great for this especially at night so good luck! The lights are really nice and synchronized to music. They also have a train to take you through the lights. Train is $3 per person or 2 for $5. CASH ONLY. The train comes around about every 15 minutes. I highly recommend the train at the end of the night to go through the lights and to get back to the exit. RIDESThey had a swing ride, Ferris Wheel, Roller coaster, Cups spin ride and Slide and bouncy houses. The swing ride has a strict 52" or you can't ride at all. All of the others have height restrictions that are good for most kids above about 3 years of age. It was nice because the rides had little to no wait. They sanitize between each ride. I think if it's not too busy and kids want to go twice in a row they should just let them and it would save wait time for sanitizing and going again. Also, they had to share rides operators for some of the more popular rides so you had to wait an extra long time if you didn't time it right. I get that the crowd probably isn't big enough to have ride operators everywhere, but they also didn't need 4 people just for checkin. GAMESThey had a few games throughout and it seemed like everyone was a winner because there weren't that many people. The one game we played the kids won and it made them happy. FOODThey have food right when you walk in and close to the rides. I recommend waiting until you are close to the rides if you want food because you have a pretty long walk through the lights before you go to the rides. You don't want to have to carry anything extra. Hot chocolate is $5, Hot dogs are $5. All prices are typical fair prices.Overall everyone had a great time! During COVID times I appreciate that places like this are available for the kids to have some fun. I thought it was done nicely and the crowds were minimal. I recommend since tickets are through event brite that they offer to buy train tickets and food packages online so you don't need cash. I also think a game or 2 should be included with the unlimited pass. We would do it again and some the proceeds go to opportunity village so it's a good cause.

Had a great time at Craig Ranch Vegas Festival of Lights. Located in North Las Vegas off of Craig Rd. There was plenty of parking. You must purchase your tickets on line and pick a time slot to attend so they can comply with social distancing . As we entered all out temperatures were checked and we were told that we had to keep our masks on at all times. There are different price ranges to enter depending if you want to go on rides or not. Children under 3 years of age enter for free but if they want to go on rides you have to buy tickets . The lights were beautiful . There were not that many rides but the ones they did have before you could ride they would wipe them down after the other riders were done riding. Fun night out more on the expensive side but able to see family and stay distant and be outside

Hmmm.. this is a Christmas event to come to if you want to see some beautiful l.e.d lights spread throughout trees at the park. There isn't really much special about it in my opinion. Most of the lights were out as well which made the experience even worse. There are some cute little sets ups of elves, a dog in the dog house, gingerbread men... so on. I think that it is overpriced for what you get. It's $15 plus a ticket fee so comes out to about $17ish. Santa is there as well to take pictures with but that's an additional fee of $14 on top of the $17. It would be nice if the entrance fee actually came with some hot cocoa or something to make it seem more worth it. I can walk through the Ethel Gardens for free and get some chocolate samples and in my opinion it's so much prettier. I would definitely try it again next year, but I'll have my pup with me. She would have enjoyed the walk. It is dog friendly, which I found out too late. They also have some carnival rides there and carnival like foods. I got some hot chocolate which was $5 (was really good ) I would suggest for next year, lower prices or if it will stay $17 again, add something small to make it memorable like even something as small as a candy cane. It goes a long way :)

Really enjoyed this. Order tickets online. There is a wait line to get in but it moved quick. My kid is a teenager so we didn't do any rides but we were able to buy hot chocolate and walk around and take pics. They did a phenomenal job with the social distancing. They should operate it like this all the time. The Santa pic was a nice touch. You take the pic beside Santa with a big plexiglass between you and Santa.

It was easy to purchase tickets online and park, there was no wait on December 30, a few days after Christmas. The entrance isn't well marked and they require masks and temperature checks, even though the entire thing is outside. The people working at the front are teenagers and aren't well informed about anything. I ended up passing the parking lot because it wasn't well marked, and it was dark, and I had to turn around at a barrier. There were two people sitting in a car on the other side of the barrier and the guard, or whatever he was (no uniform so maybe a volunteer), got out in a menacing way. He just stood there and stared at me and when he thought I wasn't moving, because traffic was going by behind me, he made it clear he wasn't going to get back in his car until I left. He never asked if I was lost if if I needed help. I finally had to yell out of the car that I was just turning around and waiting for traffic to pass, that I could clearly read the sign no trespassing. The guy was a jerk.Despite the hours and hours that it likely took someone to wrap many many many tree trunks with lights, as well as some of the pergolas, this experience was completely underwhelming and one that I wouldn't do again. The rides are for little kids and you have to pay extra. Neither they nor the games looked very good. Even the food stands just looked kind of crappy. We extended our walk by walking slowly and going around things twice and I think that took 25 minutes. A few years ago, I went to the Chinese New Year festival at the same location and that was absolutely awesome. I wish they would bring something like that back.
