Airlie swans
Enchanted Airlie, the beautiful holiday light event at Airlie Gardens, is back again for the eighth year to wow visitors with its magical displays. If you have been in previous years, it is worth a return trip as there are many new additions to the attraction.
First of all, the Lego display located in the main building is completely different this year. Featuring everything from a Lego train to a spaceship piloted by Yoda, this year's display has something for everyone. The detailed Lego village is a true work of art.
When venturing out into the gardens, visitors will also note several new areas with music. Some of these areas have synchronized light and sound adding some excitement to the light displays. My 4 year old daughter loved dancing to the music near the light displays.
The classic swans by the lake have gotten a new look and there is a path that takes visitors closer to the lake for a better look at the swan display.
More LED lights and a larger North Pole tent also enhance the experience of Enchanted Airlie.
Enchanted Airlie is open until December 22 each Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening. Tickets can be purchased for a 5pm-7pm viewing or a 7pm-9pm viewing. Admission is $5 for adults and $4 for children ages 4-12. A parking pass must be purchased as well for $5. There is also an option to purchase a carload pass for $22 which includes parking and admission for as many people as can safely fit in a car.
