If you’re in the central NJ area and want to see a cool light show (at a price), then an easy organized one to visit is The Magic Light Show at the PNC Art’s Center.
First things first, swing over to their website TheMagicofLights.com. There you can buy tickets and find out about offers and other little nick nacks to purchase as addons. Above everything, the most important piece of information is to prepare for a long wait on the weekends. This was a deal breaker this weekend for my family and I. Instead we went today; a Monday.
WARNING THERE ARE NO BATHROOMS!☠️ So be prepared (unlike me)
Update! There was a porta-potty at the end of the line, right before the “official” entrance to the show. So if you can stand waiting 1-2 hours you will be fine.
We got there at 5pm and it was already crowded. The line moved slow. In my case painfully slow, being I had to use the bathroom 😱. The total line wait was 1 hour on a Monday.
We picked up a treat box for our daughters. Each was $15. It contained 4 sugar cookies, a candy cane and like 5 Hershey’s kisses. Was it worth it? Meh..one would have been enough. It was definitely overpriced.
There’s also a refreshment stand near the entrance. However, after my bladder nearly exploding, the last thing I wanted was any fluids in my body.
The total drive through the show time was approximately an hour. It had some fun displays like the “12 Days of Christmas” which was our favorite. Let’s not forget the “light tunnel” for that ooh-ahh experience.
In all, was it worth it? Yes! I had fun with the fam. Will I do it next year? Probably not, but we all enjoyed it.
