"No Nativity"

November 2022

A carload of us went thru the trail. It was beautiful, but no true Christmas songs were playing on the radio---but most disappointing was no Natvity. Nothing about the birth of Jesus. We will tell all our friends about this and will never return.

"Very disappointed"

November 2022

Look like a bunch of Christmas lights bought at Costco and nailed to trees. Several of the animated displays were not working. You could see white extension cords hanging all over the trees. It really was a waste of $25. Took less than 15 minutes to drive through and we never went more than 5 mph. Save your money for other Branson attractions. This one's just old and tired and worn out. Kind of made us sad.

Tip: Old tired and worn out.

"Tourist trap"

December 2019

There are plenty of tourist traps in Branson and this one takes the prize. Christmas light show is not worth $5, much less $25. Total rip off.

Tip: Do not go

"Christmas Light Tour and Gift Shop"

December 2019

Our group was greeted upon arrival and there were wagons ready with plenty of blankets for keeping warm for us to ride through the light. The display was awesome and meaningful. Some antique displays which brought back childhood memories. Love the animation of the deer running through the forest. The Gift shop was amazing and the free hot chocolate that was offered there was so refreshing. The gift shop manager, Christina was so gracious and helped me out in a difficult situation. She went way above and beyond to help me! I would definitely go again to the lights and especially to the gift shop!!!

Tip: Dress warm if you're going in an open air ride through the lights. It is quite long and beautiful!

"Terrible"

November 2019

Waste of money. Paid $15 a piece to walk through terrible lights with creepy dolls and then $25 to drive through a 10 min light show with lights that didn’t pertain to Christmas, no music and more creepy boxes with dolls. Do not waste your time or money. Terrible ending to our weekend in Branson.
