We were excited to take a walk through the special exhibit in Chicago through May 6: Dragon Lights
It was tough to rally ourselves as the weather had been so chilly and the illuminated displays are all outside. Thankfully, the warm weather appeared and we jumped at the chance to visit the event.
We arrived just before the sun set, which gave us the opportunity to take photos where you could see both us and the lights. And the kids (and adults) enjoyed watching the exhibit transform into bright and colorful displays as the sun disappeared.
Noteworthy:
- The nightly performance has four acts and the boys were entertained (as you can see by our youngest basically climbing onto the stage).
- There was a tunnel to see the "Year of the [Animal]" - so we found our assigned animals for each of the kids (Dragon and Tiger).
- The space was not over-crowded and there was a lot to see.
- Recommend grabbing dinner before attending, as the food vendor is one option and the line is long.
