My group of 3 all agreed this was a 5 star experience. I bought tickets way in advance when I saw this experience advertised as I was familiar with the Morton Arboretum and knew it had to be good for them to allow it. This was a great all ages event and very family friendly, but nice for any age. The tickets are rain or shine so taking a chance but wasnt sure if they would sell or or not as it is fairly new event in the area. I had a beautiful fall night. When buying you can choose a reserved time or anytime tickets which means arrive and doesnt matter what time you get there. When you arrive there are vendors set-up to view while you wait for your launch time. Of course they are selling glow fun items like necklaces, swords, crowns, horns, etc which enhance the experience for fun so bring extra cash if you want to be included in that (or you can wear your own if you prefer). Plan on walking for a full 45 minutes in the near dark on worn down rocky path with no benches if you go, and they suggest wagons for kids not strollers for this reason. This was my only complaint as we were elderly and my husband brought a cane just in case he needed it and thank goodness he did. If I had any suggestion for this is that they include some type of bench along the way - at least half way if nothing else. Even with that we still thought it was great. At the end, there is a pumpkin patch where pumpkins are offered for sale. Would I go again? Yes definitely especially if I had grandchildren to bring. Check website for dates and times before you go as you need tickets and is SEASONAL. I had beautiful weather but this is an outdoor event so if it rains call ahead or dress appropriately.

If I could give 0 starts I would! My family and I went on 10/27 and it was a complete mess! The previous night was cancelled due to the rain so they allowed all of the people who had tickets that night to come the next night. They did not warn anyone that there would be double the amount of people. It was so over crowded that we could barely see any of the pumpkins, let alone walk through the trail. It was completely unorganized and zero communication from the staff. Biggest waste of money and I will never go again.
