I'm giving this 5 stars because I love the beauty and serenity of the gardens. However...I went on the Ghost of the Gardens tour over Halloween weekend and it was incredibly disappointing. The tour guide was so theatrical that I could hardly understand a word. It was freezing with a snowstorm headed in, but no hot cocoa available? One of the main reasons I wanted to go was to see the mansion...but we only got to spend time in one room...? Waste of money for something I was really looking forward to. Make some effort! Blossoms of Light is wonderful...try to put a little more effort into your Halloween event!
