I had a great first time experience on my 68th birthday. My daughter-in-law brought me there along with my two young grandchildren. I loved it. It was beautiful. Looking forward to going back again.

We went Tuesday night and it was perfect. It is a really nice experience with snow, but going with my mom, it was good without snow. We have been going for the last few years and this year was the best one ever! The "breathing" trees was our favorite. had it not been so close to closing, we could have stayed at this one exhibit much longer.

It has gotten so much better since the first year, great job!!. I would suggest some lighting on the path where the Illumination lights are not on exhibit. It is a little dark. Really really enjoyed it!

It was a fun experience ro see how light interacted with the environment. You can spend as much or little time walking through as you'd like.

We went to the illumination event. Best light display in Chicagoland in a beautiful setting. Worth every penny. A new must do every year for our family!

Came here for a date for the Illumination show . Show was very pretty ! Nice to look at, idk I think we were just expecting a little more interaction or something. Definitely children would enjoy the light show, and we did like it , but not to the point where we would come again.

This visit started our Christmas Season off Right. We timed it right and arrived at 6:45 Saturday and the 5pm crowd was leaving. Parking was no problem and entrance went smoothly. The trails were busy but not too crowded with people. The lights were more breathtaking than last year if that can be possible. The Treemagination was absolutely breathtaking and we watched for a long time. The trails were marked wonderfully. Seems that there were more Fire pits scattered around this year and they were lovely to sit by. The refresh... read more
