The tickets will be priced at $7 for adults and $4.50 for children during the half-price admission tonight. Weekday tickets are normally priced at $14 for adults and $9 for children under 12 years of age.
Wishing trees are popular in many different cultures, including Chinese culture during the holidays and the lunar New Year, according to a press release. Wishing trees are made for people to pray for love, fortune, career and health.
