My Two Cents:
My review of Lights at the Farm is pretty positive.
My parents, my children and myself (ages 14-63) attended and all enjoyed the event.
The pathways were wide enough that you were not fighting crowds, plenty of space to take pictures. No lines for anything (except Santa, had a small one).
Additionally, unlike many places the refreshments were not overpriced and the food was pretty good. We had nachos and cheese, chips, drinks and a cheese burger. $3 dollars for a hot chocolate, is not bad!
The best part is the place was set up for families to connect and enjoy each other's company. There were games everywhere like put put golf, corn hole, ping pong and a bunch more which makes you want to hang out and enjoy your family as much as the lights.
We especially enjoyed the pallet maze. Since both openings are marked Entrance/Exit you can do it twice for a different experience or 1/2 the group can race from one entrance as 1/2 your group races from the other
The Smores kits were 2 for $5 and made 4 Smores (2 per kit) while you sit around cozy fires laughing, talking and taking pictures. Oh, and arguing about what the perfect roasted marshmallow is. I like mine on fire!
The biggest issue I had besides it began raining, was the Smores kits used the huge marshmallows instead of the medium ones, so we got pretty sticky and there was not really a sink to clean up!
Sadly, the event has been plagued with rain this season and even had to close on some optimal visiting times. The Vertuccio Farm team, though has gone over and above to ensure everything is dry and running proper when you do visit.

Overall Price VS Value I thought was great.
