“My daughters and I booked one of the Christmas carriage ridges to see all of the Christmas lights in the city. Our driver, Rauf, was helpful and provided us with a fun and great carriage ride. We learned about the buildings in the city and we had a great experience! We were able to pet our horse, Luna, at the end of the carriage ride.”

“We had a great time with our evening carriage guide Emrah on 12/20. He added info about different movie sets and other important information within the park during our ride and also made a couple quick stops to do a little exploring. What a great experience!”
