Immerse yourself in the wonder of the holidays

A mile-long journey of awe-inspiring light experiences

Highlights of this year’s experience…

  • Journey through a field of 2,000 illuminated flowers, dancing with light.

  • Bask in the warmth of a fiery glow from dozens of hand-made Moroccan Lanterns hanging from the treetops.

  • Immerse yourself in a tunnel of giant stars.

  • Capture photos with friends and family in front of a 30’ stained glass tree.

  • Hop over a walkway of interactive lights that illuminate when you step on them.

  • Take in an awe-inspiring light show around the Lotus Pond, featuring 100 beacons of light, 10 feet tall, dancing to music.

  • And the evening wouldn’t be complete without snow and holiday treats.

  • And so much more!
