| - Get there early for parking close by. Buy tickets online ahead of time if you can. If not, get them online from your smart phone to skip the line. If all else fails, the line was really long, but it seemed to move fairly quickly so it shouldn't be too bad.
I really thought this place was going to be really cool to check out, and it was, but it was difficult to enjoy. It was crowded, overly crowded, like they let waaayy too many people in. At times it was hard to see, there was lots of bumping into people. It just really reminded me of a concert atmosphere, except I didn't have a drink in my hand and there was no music. Speaking of which I really felt the whole night could've used some kind of background music, I personally felt it was missing. Maybe thats just me being overly critical.
We came a couple weeks ago when it was a really unexpectedly warm night. With the crowds it was a lot of waiting to see the next display, waiting to get to restrooms, and waiting to get to a vendor. It was just so slow moving. The area got warm quick, and all I wanted was some water. The vendors were few and far between, and NO ONE sold water! To top it off there were lots of bugs, and they kept annoying me the whole night. By the time we got close to the end, we were over it. My friend even wanted to take the emergency exit to get out faster. All in all, it was beautiful to see but it was hard to enjoy it. Given the chance again, I'd personally pass, it wasn't worth the hassle to me.
