Travelled 5hrs to attend Festival of Lights. Great experience and amazing concept. We pre-booked the glow boats which was a great start to our evening, definitely worth the value and core memory. The walk through the park itself is a refreshing atmosphere. The lights are spread across different sections of the park for each to be enjoyed at your own pace, very impressive and fascinating creations. If you seek additional adventure there’s a treasure hunt via QR code to enjoy also try find the sleepy giant in the trees :) Overall a wonderful experience and worth the visit. Thank you to the team who put this incredible experience together.

Visited Festival of Lights and highly recommend! First time coming and how spectacular. Especially for something that is free and easily accessible. Great there are many entrances into the park as to not clog up any way to get in or out. …
