About this adventure

Nestled in Lake Orion, Canterbury Village turns its charming historic 21-acre Bavarian-style grounds into an illuminated winter playground with nearly a million dazzling LED lights. Families embark on an outdoor stroll past synchronized musical light shows, an animated gingerbread village, life-sized snow globes, and costumed winter princesses including Elsa and Anna. Children can stop by Santa's post office to mail their wish lists, meet Santa Claus and the Grinch for memorable holiday photos, and roast marshmallows over crackling outdoor fire pits. Free on-site parking and wide paved walking routes ensure a stress-free outing with strollers and wagons. Leashed family dogs are also welcome, making it an inclusive outing for the entire household.
