found out about this while planning a visit to my sons girlfriend in grad school. we found discounted VIP tickets on groupon, worth the purchase for early entry with a tour, reserved parking and seating during the shows. the lights are gorgeous, the pathways flat and well maintained, and food and drinks are available. there were acrobatic acts and chinese dance during the shows. there are a lot of lights on display so lots of walking is involved. there were people with wheelchairs and strollers so its accessible enough. restrooms are porta potties which is a downer. parking attendants guide you to park but a little more signage for exiting would be nice. it gets pretty chilly at night so dress warm. it did get really crowded after dark viewing the lights, and just like anywhere some people can be rude and let their kids run a little wild, but its worth the visit and we would do it again. its a unique display worth the visit.
