I recently visited for the Chinese Lanterns. Although I did not get to visit the entire place, the Chinese Lanterns were breathtaking. If you want to get great photos, of course your first thought is to go when it's dark out. This is true, somewhat. The perfect time is to go right before the sun sets. Comparing the photos I took, the images when it was still somewhat light out came out much better than the night ones (although I did get some nice ones).
There was also a "Little Monsters" section for the kids. Of course, I am a kid at heart and ran through myself.
The rating lacks 2 stars because I was a little mislead about the Chinese Lanterns. One the website and the brochure, it mentions "The Lanterns in Music". When reading that, I expected to see was the story of the Emperor (the theme this year) told to music....instead, after waiting around for 45 minutes, we found out that it was just music in one of the little areas....NOTHING to do with the actual lanterns. Major bummer.
