We got there around 7:00 pm because my husband read some comments of people suggesting that it was less crowded around that time, which was actually true. There was quite a few people but it wasn't packed at all, which allowed us to enjoy and walk at our own pace.
The lights were amazing and the place looked very beautiful because early that day, we had a snow storm, so everything was covered with a thick coat of snow. It was truly a winter wonderland.
But ... unlucky for us it was freezing! If I remember correctly the temperature that night was around 25 degrees Fahrenheit. We had our big winter coats, snow boots, gloves and hats, we were quite prepared but yet still we were cold.
I really wanted to take a lot of pictures but it was almost impossible because every time I took off my gloves to take a photo my hands would freeze and my skin would start hurting. But I did my best to take some photos anyways, I hope you like them.
I know this photos aren't great, I didn't have my camera at the moment so I used my phone instead.

Believe me it is totally worth it. Just wear warm clothing, please!
In here the lights were dancing around with the nutcracker melody. If I remember correctly. It was beautiful anyways.
This could have been a great photo if I had used my camera instead but oh well, I think it looks nice anyways. Also, that night the moon was gorgeous.
How the illumination show works?
It includes eleven stops along a mile-long pathway through the forest, over hills, and around a small lake. The trees are decorated with different color lights, some of them are statistic lighting up the trees but others dance around following the rhythm of the music being played at that moment.
There are different kinds of instrumental music, but mostly classical and Christmas songs.
Also along the pathway, there are some warming areas, where you can enjoy of a snack or have a delicious hot chocolate to warm up.
Also, what was very cool is that you can find some fire places along the way, to get warm, relax and keep your journey.
I totally recommend this!
