        Very disappointed. Was wonderful when we went in 2019 and 2020. I understand a different group put on the light show this year. Not worth the $30 price we paid. Will not be returning next year.

        Hi Wayne 🙂 It looks like it is $20 a car Monday-Thursday and on the weekends it is $30 a car load. Make sure you purchase tickets ahead of time online. You can reserve a specific time slot for your visit. 🙂

      Went tonight- this is not the same group that put on the 2020 display. That one has moved. The display was good but did not compare to last year’s dancing lights so you should know that when you make a choice on where to go for lights. Purchased tickets online which was easy and drove right through at our allotted time.

        HI Mac, thanks for coming back and letting us know. We haven't gone this year yet, I am sad to hear that the display doesn't compare to last years! Bummer!! I'll have to do some digging and see if the old display moved to a different location in Ohio or if they just didn't come back 🙂

          Absolutely TERRIBLE! I want my money back. We did not know that Wonderlights had changed locations this year. Do not go and waste your money!!

      Very disappointing show--nothing compared to last year's show.
      Waste of time and money

        Hi Joyce! That is what another reader said as well. Its the same place, but different lights and not as good. Such a bummer as it was previously a great show! Hopefully they listen to feedback for next year!

      Go to the new site at Hartford fairgrounds. Last years lifts from Trails moved and is MUCH better. The light show at trails is not bad, but pales in comparison. Plus… $30/ car is steep for the show. Spend the extra gas $ and drive on.

        but you spend more money in tickets to go to the fair ground. than you do in gas. i checked to go to the fairground would cost me almost $64.00 not including gas
