The Christmas lights are great, they have a great concession area at the end. Great snacks and great prices. Coco cider coffee cinnamon rolls mini donuts! Staff was helpful and great!!

The man working at the office was abnormally rude today. Never experienced that at Saluda Shoals before. I've never left a review anywhere about someone being rude but if he was acting like that towards anyone else thats not cool. The park was beautiful.

First time going, saw Christmas lights. Creative displays, not too long of a wait. Good deal for $25/car load. Made some good memories.

We came for the holiday lights and I was highly impressed with the level of service, the efficiency of operations and the level of detail put into the experience. We brought the dog, walked the trail, had s'more and hot chocolate. It was busy bet never felt overcrowded. I look forward to next year.
