I've been a regular at this for years.

I couldn't figure out if it wasn't as good or if I was having pre-COVID nostalgia and was just sad that it wasn't the *same*. They've refreshed some of the lights and replaced the old animal-shaped wire light displays with animal shapes with plastic skins and internal glowing lights. They aren't not nice, but they aren't the same.

We missed the eagle that flies overhead, and some of our other favorites had retired, but those displays were many years old. We REALLY missed the dancing trees, where the lights went on and off in time to the music. Turns out I really like those.

Also miss going on a quiet cold weeknight.

My guess is that the real limiting factor here is lack of staff.
