   Hugely disappointed and not worth the money. The pathways were not lit so could hardly see were we were going, the christmas lights were terrible and spaced to far apart and the accessible toilet was a disgrace, it was very unclean and didn't even have a light inside so had to use the torch on my mobile. Don't waste your money

   A great experience, it's a lovely way to spend an evening. My only tip was to avoid going when it's raining, I went when it was dry and had a great time but you can imagine it being miserable in the rain. I walked quite slowly, took a lot of photos and didn't go on any of the extra money attractions and it took me about 1hr and a half like the website says

   Absolutely magical! I wasn’t sure what to expect … as we booked last minute. We took our 3yr old grandsons and they walked the whole length of the show mesmerised! It’s a modern day Blackpool Illuminations but 100 times better! The water show was fabulous! Would definitely recommend.

   Really enjoyed it. Took my 8 year old and her friend and they loved the lights. Also took the opportunity to take the tram ride, which I'd been meaning to do for a while, and the kids did a few rides in the fairground area, so everyone went home happy!

   Absolutely loved it. Water feature was amazing. Food bars spaced out in the park and toilets which was so good. Little fair at the end. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend only downside parking costs ridiculous could be spent on kids in the park, would give 5 stars except for this, shame!!

   Largely bang average. If I was honest, it was definitely not worth the money. Other people may be impressed by lights etc but I’m not do I guess that’s my problem. The walk from the north car park to the start of lightopia was far too long. The food was over priced- but you expect that at these events- £6 for a burger. It got boring very quickly

   I have to say I was quite impressed with this experience. We took the grandchildren to visit Lightopia in Manchester and although it was cold and drizzling, we had a ball. Parking was very easy and only a short walk to one of the entrances. Entering the park was quite simple and the smell of cooking bratwurst and hot chocolate brewing permeated throughput one of the entrances. We bought some light toys for the children and they loved them! The park is well lit and the music playing all around was quite entertaining. I’m seeing a lot of comments about social distancing concerns but it’s NOT the park’s fault, rather all the people who don’t care about social distancing. It really wasn’t a problem for us so don’t let it bother you. In all honesty it was a great experience and we strongly recommend visiting if you can. It’s quite a long walk so be sure to bring comfortable shoes. The snack bars sell tasty food and the salted caramel hot chocolate was amazing! Last but not least, the light show halfway through was also awesome! Similar to what you would see at Disneyland. Have a great time!
