Garden In Lights is a magical walking tour that takes visitors on a beautiful trip through the woods. As you stroll along the protected path, you will be transported to a magical place of spectacular lights and amazing "light sculptures." Guests will be surrounded by mythical beasts, wild animals, pirates, illuminated works of art, and fantastical creations, to name but a few. Because all the "light sculptures" are handmade at Annmarie Garden, the designs are one of a kind. Nothing in this show is commercially available - it is all made just for visitors to Annmarie Garden.
Walking tour - The intimacy of a walking tour allows guests to be completely enveloped by the lights, to study and enjoy them at your own pace, and to see the beauty of the lights reflected in the eyes of your loved ones. It truly is a wondrous experience. For those guests that crave the warmth of the indoors, much of the light show can be enjoyed from the comfort of the Arts Building, where you will also find a warm drink, exhibits, and great shopping!
