Give the Experience of ENLIGHTEN this Christmas!

Yesterday I wrote about ENLIGHTEN at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park and started telling you what ENLIGHTEN is all about. Today I want to start you on your journey through the fourteen experiences of light, sculpture, surprises, music, fun, unexpected discoveries, and the creation of memories all of which make up ENLIGHTEN. If you are looking for a gift to give the ones you love which is more than the typical sweater or toy (not that there's anything wrong with sweaters and toys - I love sweaters and my grands enjoyed receiving toys when they were younger) you will find giving the gift of the Experience of ENLIGHTEN is absolutely the gift you want to give. Please allow me to share with you what this experience will entail . . . 

Meijer Gardens says, "Kick off your adventure at our cozy Beer Garden! Grab a Holiday treat, sip a hot cocoa, savor mulled wine, or enjoy one of our brews on tap - served in a special light-up pint glass which will make your drink shine as bright as the night! Glow wear and warm wear are also available, to add the perfect start to your holiday journey.

From here you go to the Main Stage: Get ready for a show like no other! Our dazzling light spectacular puts YOU center stage! Watch a breathtaking 10-minute show synched to music and lights. This adrenaline-pumping experience will leave you in awe.

The next main stop on this incredible experience is at the DeVoss Van Andel Piazza: See Nina Akamu's iconic The American Horse in a whole new light - literally! Neon lights and warming fires transform the space into a magical wonderland."

If these stops were all there was to ENLIGHTEN it would be an amazing, surprising, unforgettable, not-to-be-missed experience, but there is more - much, much more . . . which I will share with you tomorrow!

Today I want to say if you want to give a Christmas gift which will stand out, one which will never be forgotten, one which is an experience to be treasured, then ENLIGHTEN is absolutely the gift you want to give to the ones you love! Plus, if you take photos - and believe me you will want to take lots of photos - just imagine all the wonderful things you could do with your photos to add to the gift of the ENLIGHTEN experience - put the photos on a shirt, mug, cup, blanket, cookie jar, a necklace (my favorite!) . . . whatever you choose to have a tangible reminder of the best part of ENLIGHTEN - the memories you create with the ones you love!

I will share more with you tomorrow about giving the gift of the experience of ENLIGHTEN, but like I wrote yesterday, it is an extravaganza of light, an opportunity for unexpected experiences, and a unique opportunity to build wonderful memories with the ones you love at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.
