| - Huge disappointment. Lights are fantastic, very well done loved the dragon. I knew it was mostly Chinese, but it was like 98% Which is great but what if you have young kids, or picky eaters that don't like Chinese? One person in our group can't eat Chinese for various reasons, we got fried zucchini which was a horrible. Zucchini cut in half, not peeled with a very thin batter sitting in a pool of oil. Way to greasy to eat, and she couldn't eat them, so she got no meal except a cupcake that played havoc on her blood sugar. So food gets a big NO WAY. And way too expensive. We paid $40 to feed a party of 3 which included a person who has to limit portion intake. So early it was 2 and a half. That is high, but it's a fair so you expect it to be higher. And I hated the food card thing. What is wrong with cash? Biggest problem I had was that this is an Asian event. Nothing wrong with that because a lot of people love Asian art. But it should have been advertised that way. There were several displays which depicted none Asian things like the Dinosaurs, Statue of Liberty etc. But everything with a face was clearly an Asian person. I have never seen a monkey with Asian eyes, really took away from the realistic look. Beautiful look on the displays which depicted something Asian, those were so beautifully done, and most of the displays are something from China.
The huge Phoenix was amazing. My party loved the maze of lanterns which was really fun for her, she talked about it the rest of the evening wanting to go back through it. Fairground needs to work on their pavement.
So I give it a 1 star. The colorful lights were well done, but I expected a Christmas event which it was not.
