Holiday tunnel.

As a family & friends group we drove an hour and a half to check it out. We thought it would not be busy since it was black Friday, (you can not pre buy tickets)... We were wrong. The line was about a half hour to buy tickets then an hour or more to go on the trolley. The trolleys were cool to look at and the decorations were nice.

The kids and adults enjoyed going on the 20 min ride BUT unless you sat in the isle you could not see the 'tunnel' of lights. Even in an isle you could barely see it. :( They do stop at some point so you can see a small quick light show on a fence, people enjoyed that. It was a neat experience but not really seeing the lights was a bummer. We saw an open car trolly go out as we came in, I imagine they probably got a better view then in our trolly car.

The inside was cute and the info was interesting. My youngest enjoyed seeing Santa on the trolly car and watching the models run. Great decorated spots for family photo opportunities. It was not crowded in the museum during the event.

We went as a group of 10 and I paid 44$ for my 2 kids, myself and spouse. The employees and conductors were kind. Experience wise I lean toward 3 stars.... but service wise, 500 stars for autism families.

We had two young teen kids with autism with us. When we saw the two giant lines there was panic and tears. We decided to drive the hour and a half home as our kiddos and us mommies freaked. In the end my fellow autism mom hunted down an employee and asked about accommodations and how it was extra challenging not being able to pre buy the tickets, etc. Some very nice employees helped us get tickets quickly and we waited by the gift shop, to avoid crowds, until we could board the trolly. They walked us a back way to get on and we were able to board first. I did show documentation as proof. Always carry a letter that says my child can not wait in lines, has anxiety and autism. So be sure to have some kind of documentation before you go as a special needs family.
