Way too crowded to be enjoyable. The lights are beautiful but really difficult to make your way through the crowd. Literally shoulder to shoulder. A lot of the time we were having to hold on to the first coats to keep from being separated. We left right after the first light show because it just became more stressful than fun. $60 dollars for 45 minutes

Such a sweet place to go experience the holiday spirit. Can't believe all the work they must put into alllll those lights and displays. Loved the model of the mini town/neighborhoods.

If you are anywhere near this area you should put this on your calendar to come and see the lights. It is a treat for children of all ages. Not many food choices so eat before you come.

Really not worth the money, first of all because it is over crowded and such a small space to view the light show that as soon as the lights came back on, we decided to leave because there was literal grey haired people pushing and shoving their way to the front on hover rounds and shiiidd. Second of all, the line for the water with a dash of hot chocolate and stale pretzels are ungodly expensive and the wait is ALWAYS 30 mins or more. GO 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD TO XENIA AND THEY HAVE A WHOLE SETUP AND IT'S FREE. I mean for God's sake it's $10 a person to touch elbows with weirdos and unable to enjoy the lights because only the people who camp out on the railing by the bridge are the ONLY ones whom is able to see. Btw when the "Free Parking" is gone, you have to drive through town and hopefully find a spot unless you stumble upon people whom have signs out front on the PUBLIC STREET saying "$5 Parking". Btw, myself and EVERYONE who parked in front of the sign didn't pay. I feel bad and I'm hoping he still made enough HARD EARNED CASH to pay for more parking area and to keep the lights on another year. Merry Christmas and this may be a shot in the dark but by the grace of God, Clifton Mills uses this year earnings to pay down on that Covid loan. But if it don't pan out hmu, I got $20 for that Kil-Kare race track

Last visited in 2008 was very impressed with light and Hot Chocolate. And visited yesterday 2021 after a decade. Place changed a lot and dancing lights are Minimized to the corner and hot chocolate taste is gone and not Hot anymore 10$ per person is entry Fee can’t blame the fee because they are working and spending money.

Such a beautiful old mill that has stood the test of time. The little store is so cute and the restaurant was very good. Had lunch here after a long hike in the nature preserve. Want to come back to see the Christmas lights for sure!

This was pretty cool. The lights were amazing, the model train was my favorite. The light show is about 3 minutes but repeats. It's worth the drive. Will go back again.

Visted Clifton Mill during a weekday thinking it would not be busy. It was extremely busy but is definitely worth $10.

The 4 million Christmas light display on this historic mill is nothing short of breathtaking. A must see!

Drove a hour and 19 minutes to check this place out while making a trip to Yellow Springs. It’s definitely a place to visit at least once in your life. The lights were incredible! I loved the train track display and how creative it was displayed. I would give five stars if the price was cheaper. You only spend 10 minutes there and is $10 per person or if the place offered more to see or do.

The lights were pretty. However we didn't get to see the other attractions as people were not moving around the property. There was a definite lack of flow. We saw the lit miniature town and the backside of the first light show. A wall of humanity prevented us from getting into better positions to see the light show better. The crowd also prevented us from seeing the other displays (toy, Santas workshop). We left in under an hour. "Don't go on the Weekend" is definitely our new chant if we decide to come back, but I don't forsee that happening.

I was there for Christmas lights which were great! The restaurant was not open. A little out of the way but worth it.

The Christmas lights are beautiful but the place is waaaay overcrowded. Parking is a pain. Long lines for everything. Didn't get to enter any shops because lines to get inside them was insane.
