I went to Daniel Stowe for the Chinese Lantern Festival, and it was awesome. I really did not know what to expect, but it was very nicely done and I loved the themed exhibits throughout. I am looking forward to checking out Daniel Stowe in the daylight.
I give the Lantern Festival itself 5 Stars. It was beautiful and unlike anything I had ever seen before.
I give the parking 5 Stars. There was plenty of parking for the event. Some of it was far away, but they had shuttles for anyone with mobility issues or anyone who just wanted to ride the shuttle.
I give the overall layout 3 Stars. The foodtruck area was very small and extremely crowded. We were hungry and ended up not ordering food because we couldn't figure out where lines began and ended and there was no where to sit or even stand with your food. The signs directing people along the path were also small and not clear. There were a lot of people walking the wrong direction and not following the path, which made it hard to enjoy the exhibits.
I am definitely a fan of Daniel Stowe and can't wait to check it out in the Spring when beautiful flowers are in bloom!
