A Real Parent's Story

She cried when we left. So did I a little

Tivoli at night with the lights reflecting off the lake, my 6-year-old on the carousel, live jazz playing. I cried.

I have been to Disneyland and Universal. Tivoli is different. It is not about adrenaline. It is about atmosphere. The gardens are stunning, the old rides have character, and the lights at night are pure magic.
