I love the sweet lights. Even though they’re the same things every year I still love to take my family to see them. Their family friendly and it’s a perfect drive it’s a little bit long but it’s worth it. You only have to pay the cost for one car. And they have mini games for kids to do while driving like look for all the reindeer’s. This experience is a lifetime experience it’s for any ages. And I would go if you have time to make it. Also as you enter the gate you can buy popcorn.

I think that this exhibit is a great bit of fun for the whole family. There is obviously a lot of history in the exhibit and I think that adds to its charm. It takes about 20 minutes to roll through the whole exhibit at a leisurely pace and we really enjoyed our visit. The price seemed fair for the experience.

Hershey Sweet Lights is a must if you plan on visiting Hershey around the Christmas season!

Totally not worth the 25-30 dollars and 2 hour wait for it. You only get 2 pair of snowflake glasses for a car but really that's all you need as the don't work great on Christmas lights. Just a bunch of lights in a field and some in the woods...... The party in the field is actually hard to see since there is no background. If you choose to go enjoy the first part with the musical lights because after that you wait anyway... To get in one lane.. Took us over an hour... But most of it was waiting...I really feel like Hershey could and should do a much better job with this.

This was a worthwhile experience and the first of it's kind that I have experienced for myself. I went during the week before Christmas so it was quite busy -- the wait time to go through the exhibit was 45min-1hr. I preferred that since I was able to to get a good look at the different light set ups. (I also got enough time to make sure all of Santa's reindeer were accounted for)

Lastly, if you see a plethora of vans with small lettering on the doors and back, don't be nervous. They are usually Milton Hershey School (boarding school founded by Mrs. & Mr. Hershey) students.

I've been to several drive through light displays on the east coast and was looking forward to this one but it failed to live up to expectations. The first part is just a large field with light displays some of which had us asking "what is that supposed to be?" The first part is also two lanes, like highway driving. Being so close to other cars made it difficult to see the light displays on both sides. As you ride through, the the two lanes become one creating a traffic jam (at least this Saturday night @ 6pm). The second half of the drive was single lane which was an improvement but light displays are right next to the road so not only can you see every light bulb, you can see bulbs that weren't working. Being so close to the lights also made it difficult to appreciate the whole display, kind of like you see the tree instead of the forest. The signage directing drivers to the light display was sparse and not easily seen when driving at night which resulted in u-turns and driving super slow. For an amusement park that presumably has designers and engineers, this attraction is a let down and not worth the admission price. That being said, I do acknowledge that there is limited space in the area where the attraction is held which clearly limited presentation options. I'm glad I finally saw the attraction but won't go again, I'll see better displays driving through random residential neighborhoods.

One exhibit I feel I need to mention is the section that was created from real children's drawings. I'm not sure if they do that section every year or if that is one that changes every so often. Any who, the exhibit was adorable and refreshing as it was the last thing I expected to see in a mix of professionally done light exhibits.

I recommend going with a local because You find out something interesting you did not know before.
