Visited three times in 2024 (free tickets twice) and now again in 2025. Mostly enjoyed in 2024 but everything seems to have gone up a level in 2025, and not in a good way. Very expensive (eg little light wands have gone up from €10 to €15 this year), funfair is now way too big and nearly overwhelms the area around Marlay House, and for some reason the music on the walk is now blasted on your ears, lessening the "Wonder" experience and making it more like a nightclub - my three year old didn't enjoy. The water-fan on the lake also doesn't seem to be working as well as 2024, with projections less visible. Overall if you like taking photos for Instagram go for it, but if you like value for money you may be disappointed. The only real "Wonder" at the event was the organisers asking themselves "I wonder how much more money we can get out of these families"

I went twice. First time when they just started. Price was 15€. The lights were great and the display make you feel in the mood for Christmas. Then I went a second time. 25€. It’s a bit expensive alright. For a family it’s a full budget. Food was pretty expensive too. Add to that if you need parking. Another 3€ it adds up quickly. For me, it was fun. I leave near by and no small kids with me. But I could see easily that for a family, your wallet will suffer.

Really wanted to rate this higher as the lights were very nice, but it’s hard to overcome the entrance fee of over €25 plus a €1.95 booking fee per ticket (for a walk in the park). Given what they charged it’s reasonable to expect a lot more. Maybe had it been €12 I would have said fair enough. Food and drink expensive, and maybe that’s to be expected, but no idea why the ridiculously small portions - again if you push the boundaries of what is acceptable, at least try to offer value. The Staff were friendly and it was generally very well done but you could probably get as much of the vibe if you just go and hang out and buy a drink if you live close by. If you live further away there is probably better value to be found elsewhere.
