Heritage Park - Park in Simpsonville - 861 SE Main St, USA

This was my first time visiting Heritage Park period and to see the holiday lights. It was at my suggestion that we go for a family visit. My oldest niece and her family live in Simpsonville, but had never been to see the Christmas lights there. Heritage Park in my opinion is ok for the young at age and heart. No one was out there giving directions, it’s too dark, not enough street lights, no directions as to where the handicap parking is located. Not knowing and being able to even see where the entrance ticket gate is located, causes A LOT of walking, so make sure to put on your walking shoes. Tree roots that you could not see because there were no lights even to make sure you were walking on the walkways. An accident just waiting to happen. To make matters worse, unless you have a very very good sense of direction, to even remember where you parked in the dark. The admission cost is 5 and under free,$8 children 6 to 15 and $10 for 16 and up from Sunday to Thursday, the price goes up $2 for paying guests on Friday and Saturday. They’re open from 5 pm to 10 pm Monday through Thursday and 5 pm to 11 pm Friday to Sunday. After admission you will still need to buy tickets for the rides, the petting zoo and pay $10 to ride the ONE pony. The place was VERY crowded with only two booths serving food items and beverages. The wait times for attractions and food is very long, only one place to sit and eat your food if you took the time to stand in the long lines. My suggestion is to eat before or after going. They do have watered down hot chocolate if you would like to wait in line for it. I did enjoy the light display and the look on my eight year old great nephew and two year old great great nephew’s faces looking at the lights. Just looking at the number of people that go there and the money spent there, it should and could be better organized and much improved. It’s worth at least one visit, children and the young in “age and heart” will enjoy it. This won’t be a repeat tradition for me. As usual I did enjoy spending time with my family.

Our good friends K & Z had an awesome birthday celebration of their son today! Grant got to ride his first choo-choo train with his friend, and he enjoyed it!

We went for the Christmas light show. It was beautiful! Very well done.

My son was very happy to see the train go. Mini trains that run only on weekends seem to be popular with children. The spacious trail and two baseball stadiums inside are enough to stay for a long time. I highly recommend it.

We visited Heritage Park recently with our 15 month old toddler. It was not too high so he was able to climb most everything & go down the slide. Plenty of swings & a choo choo train that ran constantly around the park. We didn't ride that day, but he enjoyed just waving and watching the safety rail lower. It's also gated so no chasing the kids all over & plenty of swings benches. He (we) loved this park!

Great concerts at a reasonable price, but as a lower leg amputee, the parking is abysmal. The front gate is over a half mile from where we had to park. I was told that the few handicap spaces fill up hours before the show. Wondering how this stacks up against the A.D.A..

The family and I went to the the Festival of Lights it was very nice. Merry Christmas
