An Alice In Wonderland Themed Festival Is Coming To Wisconsin And It’s Pure Magic

A fantasy land awaits you in the Milwaukee area. In July, a festival of lights is coming to a secret location and it just might send you down a rabbit hole of wonder or have you grinning like a Cheshire cat. The event is called Alice in Wonderland and it’s a colorful and glowing Alice in Wonderland Festival event that you have to see to believe. Pack your bags and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. Here’s what’s waiting for you at the festival.

For one day only, on July 13, 2024, the streets of Milwaukee will morph from a typical American city to a down-the-rabbit-hole, escape-room-style adventure.

Characters and storylines from Alice in Wonderland will take over the city and the lucky ticket holders will get to participate in a massive, immersive adventure.

If you love a good mystery (and a hefty dose of whimsy), this event is for you.

You and your team will solve clues that take you from place to place. Chat with characters from the story, play games, and use your smarts to get you to the end.

The event promises to take visitors “down the rabbit hole” to be met by the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts.

Costumes are encouraged! Why not dress the part for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

At the end of this colorful journey, you can enjoy a tea party for a photo opportunity with all the characters in this sprawling adventure.

The adventure is about 2-3 hours and is structured for teams of 2-6 to participate in. It's sort of a murder-mystery meets escape room meets costume party, but the whole city is your game board.

The start location and details will be revealed two weeks before the event, so the experience is steeped in mystery from the very beginning.

You can start your game any time between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., which gives you flexibility to coordinate with your full group.

If you're looking for something fun and different to spice up your summer, this is it!

The Alice in Wonderland festival includes a fast-paced escape room-style mystery and interactions with characters from the classic children's novel.
