We went last night and the weather was perfect! 🤌 I even got to wear a flannel 😭 🤩
We liked getting there at 7, because it was still a little bit light out so we could get some cool photos in the Village with the sunset in the background. We could also let the kids run around and were still able to see them! We bought refreshments and caught the first fire show at this time as well.
🌙 Once it got dark we headed out on the trail. Jogging strollers and wagons should be ok, but it is dirty and bumpy so don’t wear nice shoes.
🚶♀️The trail is about a half mile and we took about an hour to complete the trail. Your time will depend on how fast you move through the sections (see-saws and sandpit will take a while).
📸 There were so many great, well-lit photo-ops, many of which had workers there who offered to take your picture which was nice!
👻 Nothing is really that scary, so I think toddlers would do ok here unless they are extremely sensitive. There are no jump scares or anything like that. Mostly stuff like spiders, Harry Potter, Chinese lanterns, the movie Coco, etc.
You can go through the trail again if you want, but my kids were ready to leave since this was our 4th year going. We really do love it there and look forward to this event every year!
🚗 Parking is $10 and I highly recommend checking to see what row you parked in (it took us a while to find our car lol)!

📷 OBSESSED with these gorgeous and classic photos of my boys! @timeless.tots did such an amazing job capturing them and their personalities. I’m in tears I love them so much! 😭
You can book your own session with @timeless.tots at the link in my bio (I will also share it to stories).
