Winter Wonderland- Luminocity Festival
I suggest you get there early because last year it opened on November 23, 2019 from 4pm until 10pm. I got there at 350pm and waited for 30 minutes before then started letting us in. This year with timed entry make sure you get there 45 minutes to an hour early.

Luminocity Festival has so much beautiful lights to see but make suree you dress warm. All of the light attractions are outdoors. Wear insulated clothing, warm coats, put on layers of clothing, hats, gloves, pocket warmers, and scarves. because you can definitely be there for 2 hours or more easily.
There are many food trucks where you can get food. You can eat before hand or purchase food at Lumino City Festival.
