World’s Largest Christmas Light Maze: world record in Saint Petersburg, Florida
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States--Enchant, a park lit up with more than 3.5 million lights which includes a holiday market, an ice skating rink and a 100-foot-tall Christmas tree, "a large-scale, immersive holiday light experience which also includes locally curated food halls and Christmas markets, as well as ice-skating and live entertainment," which also sets the world record for being the World's Largest Christmas Light Maze, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
"From November 26th through January 2nd, Christmas lovers can stop by Dallas, Texas, Las Vegas, Nevada, Saint Petersburg, Florida, or Washington, D.C. to enjoy this beautifully lit space for just $35," the House Beautiful reports.
"General admission includes full access to the main attraction—the maze, of course—as well as a Christmas Market experience, which features more than 40 food vendors, as well as Santa’s Landing, Kid Zone, and an ice-skating trail."
"Enchant is a park lit up with more than 3.5 million lights and includes a holiday market, an ice skating rink and a 100-foot-tall Christmas tree. Once visitors enter the maze, they can navigate their way out of the area or spend time ice skating and visiting more than 20 local vendors selling holiday treats," the GW Hatchet reports.
"Jordan Birch, Enchant’s director of business development, said each year the maze and the ice skating rink inside the maze is built around a story or thematic idea. This year, the space is built around the story that Santa’s nine reindeer have all gone missing, and it is up to the visitor to go on a scavenger hunt and find each of the reindeer scattered throughout the maze.
"“The great thing about what we do is every single piece in here is designed by our team,” he said. “There’s nothing you can buy off the shelf. Everything is very unique, and that’s the experience we create.”
"A holiday themed outdoor light “maze adventure” that guests could enjoy with family and friends!, the official website says.
"To pull off such a massive project, Kevin assembled a group of close friends and talented professionals from around the world – the best designers, production, and technical experts he could locate. Two years of planning and development later ENCHANT came to life right in the heart of the city of Vancouver, B.C.
"Since that first event in 2016 we have produced ENCHANT in major U.S. cities and hosted over 3 million guests during the holidays.
"Now, we are literally doubling down on 2022 to bring this incredible event to twice as many U.S locations, to hire twice as many fulltime staff to make it happen, and will host twice as many guests making their own magical memories this holiday season."
"Enchant Christmas is a large-scale, immersive holiday light experience featuring the World’s Largest Christmas Light Maze and Market. It also includes locally curated food halls and Christmas markets, as well as ice-skating and live entertainment. Located at Tropicana Field in Florida, Nationals Park in Washington DC and T-Mobile Park in Washington, the events will take place from November 22 to December 29," the Lonely Planet reports.
"People can expect a lot of lights (approximately three million), 80ft-tall winter sculptures, larger-than-life ornaments and twinkling snowflakes,” a representative of Enchant told Lonely Planet.
"St. Petersburg, Florida will also host a number of special nights, such as the dog-loving Paws N’ Clause ( December 1 and December 16), military night (December 5) and some date themed evenings."
