Riverhead Holiday Light Show — Attraction in Town of Riverhead

Wish I could give this ZERO STARS!! This was an absolute waste of money, time, and gas! Drove a little over an hour in traffic for what was about a ten minute drive thru at best. Music was NOT in sync with the lights. The display was nothing more than non moving steel plated silhouettes with lights threaded around the edges. Half the lights were out and the other half, you couldn’t even make out what the display was. Was not “Christmas Themed” at all- was just random lights thrown together—taco, hamburger, fries, shakes—like really? What does that have to do with Christmas? What a waste of $27; this wasn’t even worth a fee. Should have been 25 cents IF anything. What a total ripoff!! You are better off walking in your neighborhood looking at other homes that are decorated; I’m certain that their display is wayyy better. I cannot believe that someone actually thought this was a good idea AND charged for it 😡. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! IT IS TOTALLY...

We had a nice greeter. The hot chocolate is an additional 3 dollars unfortunately and it’s really not worth the 3 dollars. It’s barely hot and it’s in a metal can like some energy drink. The lights were nice in some instances. Pretty creative, but there were barely synchronized music moments in situations where you would’ve thought there were. They don’t do maintenance on the lights all the time, so be on the lookout for some stuff completely out or half out. The radio station choice was pretty bad because it wasn’t the best signal and unfortunately we caught one of those radio commercials during our drive in. They should’ve just picked some Christmas songs and used Spotify to synchronize it to the lights. Was it awful? Definitely not, but I did feel a bit underwhelmed and misled. I felt like the hot chocolate was going to be free and I thought that they were saying the music YOU CHOOSE would synch with the lights. Overall, not the...

The light show was very nice and reasonably priced. The only suggestion I have is that there should be more guides along the way. As would be expected, I followed the cars in front of me; but I soon realized we were all headed in the wrong direction. I found a safe place to stop and politely explained to another guest the situation. He was very understanding and waited for the 15 or so cars behind me to complete their “reverse trail” and then he resumed leading the other cars in the right direction. Not a major issue- but since it was only 5:30 I worried the rest of the night all visitors would be going in reverse if this wasn’t corrected. And honestly, my first clue was that we had to stop to let the cars cross over in front of us. That didn’t seem correct / or safe. But overall- the kids loved it and we had a...
