Reimagined By Laser Bob Mullins!
Winter Wonders is a 1.4-mile touchless, drive-thru holiday light show featuring more than one million LED lights set in the area surrounding the Boerner Botanical Arboretum and Whitnall Park.
This year’s COVID-safe show kicks off with a Special Preview, November 13-15, and continues with a daily schedule, November 20 – January 3.
A COVID-Safe Event: All displays are viewed from the safety and comfort of the family vehicle. Online ticket purchase, all ticket scanning, and even the delivery of holiday gift bags are touchless/no contact.
Expanded Holiday Light Displays: EgoTech has reimagined the show, bringing back the popular displays from last year (think snowmen, Santas on motorcycles, and color washes on the trees of the Arboretum) and adding new displays, concert lighting, and other dramatic lighting techniques–brought to life by one million LED lights.
NEW Mini Drive-In Feature: Up to 20 cars at a time pull into the mini drive-in to view a holiday cartoon and enjoy a singalong in the family vehicle. First come, first served.
Location/1.4 Mile Drive-Through Route: Vehicles enter at Whitnall Park Golf Course, 6751 S. 92nd St., form a line, tune in to listen to holiday music, then follow the 1.4-mile drive-through route in the area surrounding Boerner Botanical Arboretum and Whitnall Park. No person (or family pet!) may leave the vehicle while on the show route.
