The Light Park - Spring — Attraction in Spring

WARNING: parents of small kids, please be aware that the light up cups that they sell the electric lemonade in have button batteries attached with nothing but a sticker that small kids can easily pull off. We've gotten light up cups before, but the batteries have always been embedded in the base of the cup and sealed permanently in. You'd have to smash the cup apart to get those batteries, but The Light Park is selling cheap logo cups with a light pack stuck on the bottom as a sticker. My five years old pulled it off with ease and told me about the batteries because we've talked to her about the danger. Sure enough, any toddler could've easily get them out and put them in their mouth. I can't believe it's even legal for them to use these cups, given that button battery compartments are all screwed shut now after so many injuries and deaths. If you have young & curious kids in the car, skip the light up cups here. Also, the glasses do nothing. You think they're gonna be like others I've seen for sale elsewhere, where every light gets a cute little shape or stars around it, but nope. Zilch. Just FYI. The lights are nice when they work, but this is our third year and there's always a major piece off when we go. We also went early the last two times, and the early bird price and no wait was fine. At full price with the insane wait to get in it's a bust, and the Dasher pass is $40 extra for less line. Terrible value. But, most importantly, beware the easy-access...

Hope you are in the right lane. I expected to wait and that’s fine. My issue with their entrance management. They break you up into two lanes once you enter the back parking lot. You would think they would both feed into the light show at about the same rate. Nope. I was stuck in the wrong lane. It’s like picking the wrong lane at HEB and watching 40 or 50 people from behind you check out quicker. Some employee is waving in cars from the lanes to enter the front parking lot. Watched him consistently wave the right lane three times to one for the left lane. This caused cars lying down their horn at the guy but he didn’t care enough to pay attention to what he was doing. He kept doing it over and over. Then when you enter the front lot of they break you up again into two lanes. But this time for people who pre purchased online or need to buy at the gate. I pre purchased and that put me in the lane funneling corral number 1. Corrals numbers 2-4 are for the people buying online at the gate. Again getting leap frogged 3 to 1. Not even sure why they did this or didn’t have the same number of corrals for both purchase types. This all is extremely frustrating when you have kids in the car getting restless waiting 90 minutes. Tough to enjoy something when you enter frustrated. The only reason I gave it two stars is because when we entered my kids liked it. If you go don’t go...

My visit to The Light Park this evening was an epic disappointment. It took 8 or 9 minutes to drive through and was outrageously expensive. I have never, in all my life, felt such buyers' remorse. It was located in the parking lot of a closed waterpark. Concrete went on forever with a winding car lane formed by Christmas lights draped precariously from traffic cone to traffic cone. This line led to the "main attraction." This consisted of free-standing wooden or possibly even plastic figures painted black with LED lights outlining the edges. Ornaments, barn animals, lamp posts, outlines of texas, etc. There were a couple of "tunnels" made out of lights, but some bulbs were out, so even that was underwhelming. After what felt like 5 minutes, we were at the exit. Everyone in the car seemed to simultaneously ask, "Was that it?" at exactly the same time. It felt like someone was playing a practical joke on me. I almost forgot to mention the tent when initially driving in. They offer overpriced lemonade, light up toys, and popcorn with an additional charge to add to the already exorbitant cost. PLEASE avoid this place. Spend your money on anything else. Take your family to a nice dinner, buy some Christmas gifts, or donate to a food bank. Literally, anything else. I felt like I flushed money down a toilet outlined by Christmas...
