We were greeted at the entrance with color, light, and music which followed us throughout the mile-long ENLIGHTEN experience. I was expecting color, light, and music, but actually experiencing it was more than I imagined it to be!
Since Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is located in Michigan, and it is December (and my grands had a snow-day two days ago) I expected it to be "chilly", happily it was nearly "balmy" - for Michigan in December - but I especially appreciated the wonderful warming firepits throughout the experience. A very thoughtful and excellent addition in my opinion.
I loved how sculptures I have come to "know" at Meijer Gardens "changed" with the color and light of ENLIGHTEN - I will never look at Neuron or Aria the same again! I especially enjoyed the way color and light twinkled off the tops of the trees around the large waterfall - it was SO beautiful!
My family enjoyed being able to enjoy hot cocoa at the end of our evening - apparently Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park knows how to make excellent cocoa!
My grands enjoyed the entire event, but especially the different ways they were able to interact with the music and lights - and it was clear to see so many others were enjoying the evening as well. While there were quite a lot of people there, it did not feel crowded at all - from, the actual amazing event, to the warming pits, planning for timed admittance, and every detail, Meijer Garden clearly has planned very well for ENLIGHTEN so it will be a completely excellent experience for all who attend.
As I have been writing for the past few days, if you are looking for a gift to give the ones you love which is more than the typical sweater or toy or if you want an extra special gift for the ones you love, you will find giving the gift of the Experience of ENLIGHTEN is absolutely the gift you want to give. You will find the details for getting your tickets at this link!
