Arizona Lights In The Night
Event venue
😠 People. Do not spend money on this light show. We spent $150 for leaky, watered down hot chocolate, two light up stuffed bears (probably the best part of the entire experience), and 15 minutes of a light show that looked like a poorly constructed DIY project and half the lights not working. If you’r...

World of Illumination - Glendale, AZ
Festival
😠 This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had. After arriving half an hour early for our "scheduled time" we were met with severe anxiety driven traffic and the negligent police who did nothing to help. Then we ended up in the longest car conga line I have ever seen. Until we were forced...
