  1. We went to I Love Christmas Movies, and were extremely disappointed. I expected a lot more. The very first scene just looked like a lot of decorations that I have seen at my local Hobby Lobby, and just thrown together. From the advertisement, I expected to see an exact replica of the Polar Express, but it was just a pitiful attempt to mimic the front of a train with a light in it. The picture of the Griswold house in the ad, made me think I would be seeing exactly what they showed. Again, it was nothing at all like the ad represented. Thousands of lights?? I don’t think so. Maybe 500 C9 bulbs. It advertises to be “immersive”. The only thing we did was at the end of each “movie” we were asked to yell “It’s a wrap” and at the end, one of us were asked to plug up the Griswold house. All you do is walk through the exhibit with a tour guide who pushes a button to hear a recorded message from the movie. I had really hyped this attraction up to my family basing it on the advertising pictures. I think it was totally misrepresented an3d I was very embarrassed and angry at such a waste of money. I paid for 13 tickets and wanted to get my money back. This attraction was not worth it!

  2. I expected more from the "I love Christimas movies too. Character props to take pictures with and more realistic props. I felt we were rushed through each scene. Be able to sit on props or have interactive props would of been nice. Then again cut the price in half at 15/adult and 10 for a child. Parking alone was 27 dollars. It took us 75 minutes to go through the attraction.
