The Brooklyn Museum’s holiday market gets panned
Winterfest in Brooklyn, a new holiday and marketplace attraction in the rear lot of the Brooklyn Museum, has been a disappointment to many visitors, with some people demanding refunds, according to CBS.
CBS reported that visitors were asked to pay as much as $70 for special events, but they sometimes found that these events were either disappointments or didn’t exist. One such disappointment, said CBS, was a tent featuring “powdered hot chocolate and a group of Christmas trees meant to be a maze.” The news video also displayed rows of shuttered vendors’ booths.
A representative of Winterfest told CBS that 45,000 visitors came to the attraction in its first 10 days, that the company has “added events and decor,” and that all attractions will be free to the public until the end of the month.
