Holiday Spectacle
Enchanted Airlie
When a chill hits the air thoughts begin drifting toward family
time and holidays with loved ones.
Airlie Gardens caters to those thoughts with its
enchanting light displays, warm refreshments and music
to set the mood during the evening stroll throughout the gardens.
For the 8th annual Enchanted Airlie, the LEGO theme predominates once
more with the unveiling of a surprise, site-specific piece. There will also be
more interactive pieces and photo opportunities along with a visit from Santa
for the children.
Enchanted Airlie opens at dusk on the Friday after Thanksgiving, November
23, and will be open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings with tours
from 5-7 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. through Saturday, December 22.
Individual tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 4-12, with $5
parking passes per car. The carload package at $22 includes admission for all
passengers along with the parking pass at no additional charge.
All tickets must be pre-purchased and may be purchased online at www.
airliegardens.com.
Visit Airlie Gardens this winter to create a memorable experience. With all
of the new photo opportunities, you may end up with the perfect holiday card to
send to your friends and family.
