TINLEY PARK, IL — An elaborate holiday lights show that previously made its Chicagoland debut in Rosemont has found a new place to shine: Tinley Park's own Odyssey Fun World, 19111 Oak Park Ave.
Described as an "all-immersive storybook experience," Amaze Light Festival will take guests through an "enchanting experience filled with festive food, thematic adventures and an ultimate light show."
An outdoor experience, guests can stroll through five themed worlds of displays with millions of twinkling lights, colossal 3D lighted decor, photo opportunities around every corner and a holiday market highlighting local small businesses and unique gifts, the company touts. Unique to the Tinley Park show, guests can take a ride on the Arctic Express and pass by "the biggest snowman in the land." Not to be missed, the festival comes alive every half hour with animated mega trees dancing to holiday music and dynamic live performances.
