Walk Through A Winter Wonderland Of Ice This Holiday Season At The Morton Arboretum In Illinois
If there’s one thing that never fails to awe and amaze during the holidays, it’s the stellar Christmas light shows that create otherworldly scenes of color and beauty reflected upon the gleaming snow and ice. One of the most impressive of these eye-popping displays is at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle. Let’s take a journey through an amazing winter wonderland in Illinois.
The annual event known as Illumination: Tree Lights at The Morton Arboretum takes place during the holiday season when the lush foliage and winter snow and ice are awash in thousands of multicolored lights.
Serene, icy blue lights on the frosty trees bring a sense of winter peace and calm. Take a moment to stand here and breathe out the year's stresses and let it all go.
Then feel the warmth and joy of the pink and lavender hues to brighten up the night and put a spring in your step as you enjoy the 50 acres of wondrous beauty.
If you need to take a bit of a break and warm up before you continue, there’s a concessions tent with snacks and hot beverages to enjoy. The entire trek is one mile long, and there are fires where you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores!
There’s a new addition to the event this year called Electric Illuminations. The adults-only event for ages 18 and up will have trance and progressive house music accompanied by synchronized light animations.
The laser light finale provides the perfect end to this evening of spectacle and awe. Bring your loved ones here to share an experience you won’t soon forget.
Illumination: Tree Lights At The Morton Arboretum is open during the 2022-2023 season from November 19 to January 7. Get your tickets now, as they often sell out fast! If you’re visiting Illinois during the holiday season or if you’re a local, don’t overlook the fun and festivities at the Belleville Christkindlemarkt for a German-style Christmas market experience!
