Festival of Trees

This was my first time here. I was pleasantly surprised. We went on a Sat. evening so it was crowded but it made it that much more festive with Christmas music playing and the reflective ceiling lit up by all the tree lights. I would suggest purchasing the raffle tickets about $ 5.00 for 20. That’s most of the fun, picking your favorite trees and wreaths in hopes of winning them in the raffle. Most trees have a theme and have been judged in different categories. Some were dolls, sports, seashore, culinary, butterflies, you name it. There were green trees, white trees, snow covered trees even upside down trees. Nice to see how much creativity went into most of the trees. If you haven’t been, I would suggest going. We enjoyed it and will return with my daughter and my niece. Allow about 1 hour. There is also a room to buy snacks and hot drinks.

It was awful! We were met by cranky old woman who were tasked with individually inputting name address phone number and email address of EVERYONE! This was painful we got there late but plenty of time to make a couple of passes but we were met with «you want to come in now» way to go! Why didn’t you just tell us to screw don’t come in were waiting for the clock to count down until we can go home. How ever after we were allowed in the staff put their coats on then grabbed group photos in front of their favorite trees. To add insult to injury exactly at 9 PM the lights to all the trees were shut off all at once, no announcement no decency just rude treatment.
In closing don’t waste you time or money.
