When I got here, I’m surprised that probably more than 1,000 people are in line to get to this Christmas tourist attraction. Makes me wonder if it’s worth waiting about an hour to get here despite it not being an amusement park. Actually it is!

I heard that they were awarded to be one of the best Christmas decorated houses in the Bay Area. So many lights as if you’re in a Holiday Town! I’m shocked that they keep count how many Christmas lights they stalled in. Also like other decorations and moving ones. It’s like a mini Christmas Wonderland if you asked me. The owners and staff seem to be very nice taking pictures of people behind the waterfall and Christmas lights.

Some people don’t want to stay in line and wait for at least an hour to get inside, but that’s ok. Admission is free too! They said that they change Christmas themes every year and will be definitely coming back here next year!

Beautiful decoration of lights with attention to detail and a lot of interesting display of artistic crafts. Starts at 6pm and ends at 9pm till the New Year’s. Be there early to enjoy the place and when it doesn’t get too busy!

It's free and every year the theme is different. The tour is short but u can tell the volunteers put a lot of effort to make it beautiful. Street parking spaces on the street are plenty of you come early, otherwise expect to walk a few blocks.

Definitely worth the visit as they go all out with the Christmas lights. I expected a drive by, but you can actually line up and walk into the gardens. I wasn’t dressed for that so adding it to my next year 😍

We waited over 2.5 hours in line, expecting something magical and festive, but honestly, it was such a letdown. There were maybe five static light displays and a bunch of photos of the workers. After such a long wait, it just didn’t feel worth it. I can appreciate the effort that goes into putting on an event like this, but the experience didn’t match the hype or the time commitment. Wouldn’t recommend unless the wait is significantly shorter.

Great experience, and it's free. They have Venmo QR codes to scan if you want to contribute. Bring some change to try and make some of the lights sing. Fun for the whole family. No pets are allowed.

First time to go. I personally was impressed with the lights from the outside and from a distance. I found the exhibits inside the property to be quite outdated. The lights inside the property in my opinion were not as grand as the outside ones. Unsure if I will visit in the future again. Be sure to bundle up too!
