Very Good - 4 out of 5

Rhonda B, Paulding

They close at 5:00 or 6:00 depending on the day so GO EARLY- LONG lines for tickets so buy ahead if you can - alot of school groups during the week. But well worth seeing - wonderful!

Liked: Really nice displays - Loved it!
Disliked: Really Crowded - long wait for tickets
