We went by there and while somewhat interesting, the statements: “Enjoy your favorite aircraft aglow in holiday lights” and “Wander the trails while listening to the sounds of holiday music” were overstated. Some of the aircraft had a single string of lights around them, others had nothing. There was music playing in a couple of places. None of the plaques were illuminated so unless you took the tour (along with dozens of preschoolers), it was wandering around in the dark trying to guess what you were looking at.
