Looking for a whimsical, family-friendly adventure this winter? The Garden of Lights is transforming Crawford Barn in Frazeysburg, Ohio, into an illuminated Wonderland inspired by the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland.
Alice in Wonderland Garden of Lights
Visitors explore a dazzling light display featuring characters like Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, and the Queen of Hearts in the form of illuminated lanterns. Wander through the grounds and discover Wonderland coming to life at every turn.
One of the most awe-inspiring highlights is the longest light and music tunnel in the United States, spanning an impressive 800 feet and featuring over 78,000 LED lights synchronized to music.
The entire exhibition glows with more than 580,000 lights and over 80 larger-than-life 3D lanterns, some as tall as 20 feet.
Kids will enjoy the interactive attractions, such as a multimedia path, a music and light tunnel, a Christmas tree, and a field of glowing flowers.
Michał Chojnacki, CEO of Wonderful Lighting, the company behind the Garden of Lights, is excited to bring one of the largest themed displays to Ohio. “The Crawford Barn and the former Longaberger Homestead offer the perfect backdrop for our magical installations,” Chojnacki shared, adding that themed gardens of light have been a popular attraction in Europe for years.
Along with the light displays, visitors can enjoy multimedia attractions and interactive family games, making this a perfect fall outing for all ages.

Stacy Driftmyer says
One of my favorite movies is the Tim Burton adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. I think many a girl can relate to Alice’s different perplexities in life, myself included. I’ve, at times, had to remind myself, during different challenges that life inevitably brings up, that I’ve lost my “muchness,” and it helps me to remind myself that regardless of what seems like the impossible, can very much be possible, and that we can overcome it and make it through it, if we just believe in ourselves. Such an encouraging and empowering message!
