I signed up for this tour not really knowing what it was. Our family was going to be in Charleston for a few days and we were looking for unique things to do. I thought we’d ride around looking at Christmas lights around the area, not realizing it is an organized display at a nearby park. The bus is comfortable, you can see out of the windows easily, and the driver was safe. There was no commentary on the ride out to the park, no history, no explanation…… just the ride. We got there as it was opening, so the ride in, though we saw lots of lights, was only “okay” because it wasn’t dark yet. The driver dropped us off at the center of the park where there were bathrooms, the opportunity to buy tickets for a little train ride, a few vending areas and a small gift shop. He also gave us a bag with a “s’mores kit” in it so that we could make s’mores on one of the fire pits. (This was a nice and unexpected treat). Once dark, the lights were remarkable. We enjoyed it as a family, but wouldn’t do it again.
