GLENCOE, Ill. (AP) 鈥� Chicago Botanic Garden is dazzling patrons and visitors from around the world with their fifth annual holiday display of light and music: Lightscape.
Clusters of multigenerational households push strollers, carry children and walk arm in arm with older relatives as they navigate the 1.3-mile (2.1-kilometer) experience in the village of Glencoe, near Chicago.
More than 22 light installations by various local and international artists light a path through established gardens that snake around the Great Basin in the core of the garden鈥檚 385 acres.
Highlights of the experience include passing through the 鈥淓lectric Ribbon Tunnel鈥� created by Culture Creative; 鈥淪ea of Light," created by UK artist Ithaca, which has 4,800 individually controlled balls of LED light; 鈥淟ilies,鈥� by UK artist Jigantics, with 22 illuminated 5-foot (1.5-meter) lilies that float in and around the darkness of the Great Basin; and 鈥淟aser Lake,鈥� projecting a rainbow of light dancing across the Great Basin.
A crowd favorite, 鈥淲inter Cathedral,鈥� features a cathedral window arch of 100,000 lights that extends along a 110-foot (33.5-meter) tunnel at the end of your journey.
The event ends Jan. 7. To find out more visit: .
