Not sure if 4 or 5 stars but I got what I went for, which was my 2 year old daughter having a nice time out during the pandemic. This place was meant for the littles, it was a little lackluster but for a 2 year old it was amazing and thats all I could ask for. The people were very nice and hyped up for Christmas which deserves an Oscar the week before thanksgiving. Overall we had a good time, I know 40 something dude isnt their target demographic and my daughter left happy so Im happy. If youre a group of teens or just adults, you can prob find something better to do with 50$.Also, Id skip the glasses.

We really enjoyed ourselves - dancing & singing to the music that goes with the lights - both Christmas songs & other songs as well. We got hot chocolates & snacks at the QT nearby to enjoy along the way. You must purchase tickets & pick a day/time slot before attending. Even then, there is a wait to get in but for us, it wasnt too bad/long. They did say weekends or peak hours are longer waits so bring something to do to tide you over if need be. Was $35/car which is a little expensive for me but was a nice treat. Overall, Id recommend going if you have @ $40 to spare (taxes, fees, etc). But, I would not purchase the 3D glasses that are available as it is definitely not worth it- the lights are much better without them.

Really loved the overall experience. Not nearly as much traffic as I thought it would be. We arrived 30 minutes before our time considering it was a Friday night and we were going through the drive in less than 15 minutes. I’m a pretty cheap guy, initially I thought the price was pretty steep, but after going through I would pay again. Overall great experience for the entire family, I would not recommend the 3D glasses though. We had them off within the first couple minutes.

Beautiful show! We had a magical night - it was even snowing while we drove through! The music choice and light synchronization was incredible. Also, the staff were genuinely friendly and courteous. We’ll definitely be back before the season is over!

Absolutely incredible. While I love Christmas lights, I originally did this for my kids and their satisfaction...but my wife and I had just as much fun as they did, if not more. The music was great and the lights...phenomenal. I highly suggest you take in this site this holiday season. 2020 has and continues to be a very trying time for us all. This attraction will definitely put some joy back into your life. Thank you World of Illumination. Candy Rush CRUSHED IT.

Such a fun experience. Definitely fill your car or truck up as some people were in the bed of trucks. The lights are beautiful and so fun as they sync to the radio (87.9). The songs are upbeat and you will find yourself singing along in no time. The line in is long and it moves slow but the Traffic Elfs are super efficient and incredibly nice!! We are planning on going again next week!

Beautiful lights and great music. I wish it was just slightly longer. We ended up 1 song shy of getting the whole musical rotation and that was with driving slow. Easily fixed if 1 more row could be added

Absolutely incredible, worth every penny! Very well organized, we only waited 10 minutes before we were in and enjoying the show. The selection of music was awesome too, just turn your radio to 87.9 FM and watch as the lights dance along to the music!

I have gone to the one in Glendale Arizona two years ago and we love it. To know they were here in Georgia I was super excited! My nine year old and 14 year enjoy it and the music as well. We love Christmas light!

I am a travel professional! I came to enjoy the experience with my family and also recommend this place to others! The organization is on point! The lights are beautiful. If you’re in the area, stop by! The children will love it! It’s amazing!

We had a great time driving through. The music was a great mix of classics (Queen medley), holiday traditions, and current hits. Everything was timed perfectly. It was a nice way to kick off the holiday season and stay socially distant.

Review №12

This was an awesome experience. We had two vehicles. I could mot determine who was the most excited, my gown children or my grandchildren. They will be taking about their outing for days. I share our adventure with a number of friends who will be making the event as well.

Review №13

If you like a massive amounts of lights strobing at you every since second from all directions then this works perfectly for you. Not me! Theres also a massive line so youll be waiting a long time behind others the entire super bright light journey. The music didnt seem to line up with the lights but I feel like it had little chance of that anyways.

Review №14

I was very hestitate about going, but I am glad I did. The line to get in is awful, the traffic backs way out past redlights and you have people blocking red lights and blowing horns . Luckily, my family and I missed all of this chaos. I didnt buy the 3d glasses, maybe next time. The employees are very nice. My children loved this and I do recommend it but please dont be in a hurry on weekends. The only complaint that I have, is that someone was smoking weed and thats ridiculous since They are children looking out windows and sunroofs. No one wants to smell the nasty junk.

The lights were great and the kids loved it. The wait time was not terrible. However, I think the price is a little steep for what it is. Considering Ive been to neighborhoods with the same caliber of presentation that just ask for a donation.

Review №16

This was a beautiful way to spend an hour with friends and family! Well worth the price. The coordination between the music and the lights was excellent! The wait in line is about half an hour (made pleasant by the 3-D glasses and the company in your own car) and the drive-through was about half an hour. We preferred the 3D glasses during the wait, but took them off shortly after the show started. Porta Potties with hand sanitizer are provided during the wait time with a place to pull out of line so you and your guests can all use them! What a great idea for entertainment during a difficult time.

Review №17

Great show and the waiting was about 30 minutes before we were able to get into the park. Traffic Elf was very helpful and dont forget to tune your radio to FM 87.9 (I think it was 87.9). The light show was based on the music from the radio.

We went on a weeknight and at the 6pm time slot after hearing the horror stories of 1.5 hour+ long waits. The music was upbeat and fun. My 8 and 3 year old loved it, and that’s what matters most. But honestly they would have loved a local neighborhood full of lights just as much if not more, and at least the local neighborhood wouldn’t have cost me $58.25. Also save your money on the 3-D glasses, not worth it. It would have been nice to go through at least twice for the $60, catch something that you may have missed and to listen to different songs with the show. It was dead tonight, so a second time through could have been offered. Hit up the Marietta Diner afterwards, that was our highlight.

Great fun. Lights and music were in sync. Only issue was the wait and the closeness of the cars..you could smell the exhaust. Overall we enjoyed it.

Review №21

Wow, I did not expect it to be as amazing as it was. There was one song/show in particular that my family and I were so enthralled by, we couldnt even speak. We just stared wide-eyed at the amazing light show. I cant recommend this event enough. AND its completely socially distanced!!

Review №24

The lights are nice but I don’t think it’s worth $47.50. They say it’s $35 on weekdays but charge you a $12 tax. The kids loved it but if you go you should pack your car to make it worth the money.

Review №25

The light show was nice, but just nice. I ended up paying $57 after various surcharges were piled on. While I arrived expecting some sort of organization around the time slot I paid for, I was disappointed to find there was next to no organization for entry. Traffic was backed up more than mile before you could enter the parking lot. After a wait of 1 hour and 20 minutes (most of which was in the parking lot itself), we gained entry into a 20 minute light show coordinated with music. It was enjoyable, but tight rows of light displays in the White Water parking lot just didnt live up to what I imagined would be the worlds largest light show. No one from our car left feeling like it was worth it for the price.

What a wonderful experience! Rows and rows of lights and music to go with it! A fabulous light show that we will cherish. Worth every penny to get in!

Review №27

As others have mentioned, getting into the light show is chaos. Once in and the music is playing and the lights are dancing around its pretty neat. But you are literally just going up and down the rows in a parking lot. Thats it. All the lights packed in one right after another as you roll through up and down rows in the parking lot. It gets boring and repetitive very quickly. I would pay maybe $10 to roll through but it is not worth $35.

This spot was recommended by one of our friends. Had fun going through the light show. As you drive through you sync up you radio to 87.9FM and the lights dance according to the music. It was nice and the kids enjoyed.One thing I do not like is the entry into the place. From the outside the cars had been lining up to 2 lights about more than 2 miles. The staffs are friendly and we even spotted a Santa while on the drive through lights. Overall great experience.If you have been to fantasy lights in callaway gardens dont expect that kind of experience. Compared to that this not quite big in my opinion. Feels like they are better organised.Since this inside the city and closer to my home it is better.

Take your time, bright hot chocolate and enjoy the experience. I would like the option to go back again, by paying a little extra fee again, but I did enjoy the experience

Only thing that could be considered negative is that I wish it had more room. A bigger venue would be perfect.

Better than I expected. The music over a low-power FM transmitter definitely enhances the experience of the synchronized lights.

Review №36

Not too bad... Didnt get too much of a Christmas vibe tbh. Maybe 25% Christmas music - but I get that it wasnt the main theme. In and out in about 25-30 minutes.

Review №37

I expected bigger and better light show then just a back and forth in the parking lot for the amount we paid. I had high expectations before going and was extremely disappointed. Callaway garden light show was so much better than this one.

This was a lot of fun. The synced radio with the lights added to the beauty. I was worried cars would be slow and but everyone kept a great pace. We waved at random cars as they waved too. Great social distancing idea!!! Telling EVERYONE!

Review №45

Everything was mostly great! We purchased the 3D glasses and not one attendant mentioned them or offered them not even when scanning tickets, and before we knew it we were in the run and never received the glasses. We didn’t see anybody getting them or with them on so I’m out $10 and likely many others as well. It was a bit costly for what it was so felt a bit slighted money wise but overall was a great show.

Before we enter the lines were long... however I felt like we moved very quick... the kids really enjoyed the lights.

Not worth it. Lights were pretty but set up and waiting in the line, driving thru in a loop, and the price it’s not worth it.

Review №51

Was hesitant at first due to the advertising that FB usually gives off as being exaggerated, but was definitely surprised. Before you go just know that the line to drive in will be long so I would reccomend getting there before your designated time so it can go smoother. The actual lights are really up to date and are always rotating color schemes. The 3D glasses are cool because certain things that give off light turn into candy canes. Including the moon! If your cars headlights dont turn off all the way then dont worry because there are others like you aswell. Overall it was great and would reccomend it to anyone.

Review №52

Purchasing tickets and arrival to the venue was easy. Yes, there was a line of cars but the move was quick and well organized. My favorite part was the synchronizeday lights to music. However, the price (plus $10 extra for 3D glasses) totaling $54 was a lot of money. Also, I didnt like that a Christmas lights show wasnt linked to only Christmas music. It was odd to hear random songs and didnt fit with well with images of Santa, Christmas trees, and elves. And the length of the actual show was small aND shouldnt cost more than $25.

The lights were amazing such a different variety of different kinds. The music they give you too play wasnt just Christmas but also a little bit of different music also. Truly recommend if you know anyone who loves Christmas lights.

The best $32 spent ever! Usually its $35 per car but got 30% off since I bought the ticket from Costco. You can visit that place with friends, family, kids. Its almost a 30 min ride inside the park. Pro tip: Try getting there 15min in advace as there can be a huge line od care. Had a great time. A must visit place!! Its open till Jan 3rd 2021.
