Here’s my honest review of Enchant LA — the massive Christmas light maze + ice skating experience in Los Angeles. ✨⛸️
If you’re looking for holiday things to do in LA, keep reading because this one has ✨vibes✨ but also a few things you should know before you go…
Sharing the real tea so you can decide if it deserves a spot on your LA holiday bucket list.
💰Let’s talk cost…tix start at $29, but that all depends on the day of the week you visit. Starting price for us on a Saturday was actually $39, and that only gets you inside, it doesn’t include any of the fun activities advertised. Wanna ice skate or do the ice slide? That’s an extra $15 each. The ferris wheel is another $10 each. Food ranges from around $14-$28, and drinks had a similar price range. You can also upgrade your tickets for another $30 to premiere pass, which promises to allow you to skip the lines and comes with a free drink ticket and $10 off at the merch booth. Parking is $15. So, after all was said and done, our tickets were about $114 each. Definitely a lot more than the $29 advertised!
Is premiere pass worth it? If you want to use it to get a free $24 cocktail, I guess it kinda is? But there didn’t seem to be any instance where there was a long line that we had the benefit of skipping. IMO, not worth it.
Overall vibe: definitely fun and festive! It kind of felt like a mash up of a European Christmas market and a light walk. There are so many pretty light displays to check out and some live entertainment. If you base the “base” ticket price on that experience alone, I’d say it’s worth it.
Now, the add ons….Ice skating, ice slide, and the Ferris wheel are all extra. If you want to be able to do these things, you should book your tickets asap, as these activities can fill up and be sold out depending on demand. I can only speak for the ice skating, which of course I loved!
From the ice rink and the festive pop-ups to the photo ops and twinkle-light overload, this holiday experience is definitely pretty — but is it worth the price? 👀
