We decided to take our son to Magical Nights of Lights for the first time on Sunday. On the way, we stopped by QuikTrip and grabbed a coupon (which doubles in November). We were very surprised to find no traffic, no line and it was extremely easy to find from 985.
When you first enter the magic is already happening.. lights are everywhere and you start to wonder "Did I miss the ticket booth?" lol. You continue driving down a curvy road and my son was already excited once he saw the Spongebob lights! Yes they have SPONGEBOB! That's a kid show that I can enjoy lol!
You finally reach the ticket booth and cry a little as you pay anywhere from $40-$60(per car) depending on your coupons. Once you enter you realize it was worth it there are lights everywhere!! Luckily, it wasn't crowded so we were able to stop and let our son enjoy his favorites. Of course, you have the people who enjoy riding your butt and then swerve around you.. but who cares? We paid a good bit to get in.. so we were definetly going to enjoy it so don't feel pressured to rush but I do suggest turning off your headlights!!
After miles of lights, you reach Santas Village. This is my favorite part because you get to roast marshmallows! We immediately went and grabbed a marshmallow stick to roast ($2/per stick) and Jude enjoyed his first roasted marshmallow while my husband enjoyed his smore kit ($3.25). While roasting "snow" came from a machine above and it actually looked and felt like snow it was very neat! We ventured through the little shop and let Jude choose a few decorations (Ornaments on average were $7/each) and then looked at all the rides.. be prepared with the little ones you must be at least 32" to ride most of the kid-friendly rides. The ticket prices were $1/each and how many tickets each ride took varied. We noticed the pony's and decided that would be best suited for a toddler; Jude enjoyed petting and interacting with them. The pony's seemed very friendly and docile but we weren't quite ready for him to ride them yet. ($6/pp)
Overall, we really enjoyed the lights! The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the pricing for everything you get really wasn't bad! So spoil yourself and go enjoy the Christmas Season at Lake Lanier!
