Last December me and my mom drove up to Cary, NC, to go to the North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival. We ended up going right before my birthday so we kind of made it into an overnight birthday trip. We went mid-week so it was busy but not too crowded. It would have been much harder to get around and enjoy it had it been more crowded.
Anyways, we really enjoyed the festival. The displays were so pretty and fun. Some of them moved or changed color, and some had sound effects and steam to go along with the movement. There were interactive elements and overall it was a fun experience!
When we arrived it was cold and then part way through our time there it started raining. And not just raining but that ice-pelting type of rain that made it even colder! As you can imagine, that was not fun! The place cleared out VERY fast! But my mom and I were determined to finish our visit! It was kind of funny because we were taking pictures and I looked around and it was like, where did everybody go? Almost everybody had left!
We tried to hurry the rest of the way through because it was so cold, but despite that we did really enjoy our visit! We had never been to anything like this before so it was a fun, unique experience. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area!
