Bull Run Regional Park — Attraction in Manassas Park

Bull festival of lights is one of my favorite Christmas attractions from my childhood. I come here every year as a holiday tradition with my kids now. The lines are much longer now since I was a kid. But they added a holiday village and carnival is much larger than before. The light shows is always very nice and I love the winter wonderland section where it looks like it's snowing with the lights moving.

So if you have kids and are going on a busy peak day with kids make sure to bring a potty or put them in diapers before you wait in that line. But the positive is they have 2 lanes that are well lit and separate and they have 2 bathroom stops mid way thru the drive and you see signs for the bathrooms and there is port a potties bathrooms in the end at the carnival and holiday village.

My kids are 6 and 9 yo and they really enjoy the carnival rides such as the speedway, the Mario fun house, and the teacups and flying plan ride. They love all the games - they have a balloon pop, a bebe gun target, a softball thing at a bottle and basketball hoops games. As for the food they have 3 food stands and a souvenir stand by the village. The only thing we wished there was another stand selling funnel cake and fried Oreos, fried twinkies, etc..because that line is so insanely long and with kids I can't imagine waiting 45mins to an hour to get funnel cake. Also the pizza stand should sell pretzels because the stand said pretzels but it doesn't have pretzels on the menu.

But overall always a fun place to take your kids for fun holiday light show...

Park is nice but park manager and some staff are not helpful. The park manager doesn't know how to handle situation. He doesn't know how to de-escalate. Instead, he showed rudeness. So inconsiderate!!! Manager is so arrogant!!!!!Remember, Mr. Manager, you get paid from people's tax money!!!!!You want to collect extra $10 for every camp site if campers arrive even few minutes before 1PM check in. The camp is available...our friend is on her way to the front desk to pay for extra $30 that you asked for. I asked for consideration but you booted us out. We are professionals but treated inhumanely and told us that we don't pay Virginia tax because we came from the neighboring state, what about our federal tax? We patronize Virginia, we add money to VA for tourism and we buy stuff from Virginia. Mr .Manager, be compassionate and considerate....We already compromised. He said, I will not bother again you as long as someone pays the $30. Our friend, the birthday celebrant just texted that she has arrived in Bull Run. Then, I even apologized to the manager...He left but after 3 minutes, he returned and yelled on us to pack and leave while our friend was on the admission office about to pay the $30. It was too harsh and drastic. In a matter of 3 minutes, it turned to a disaster. That was an overkill. We're not criminals to be treated that way. We are big payers of taxes.We are professionals. Because of a decision made in the midst of anger , fun was changed into hatred....Add compassion and treat...
