About this adventure
Set on the grounds of Oakland University, Meadow Brook Hall—the historic 110-room Tudor revival mansion built by automotive heiress Matilda Dodge Wilson—presents two breathtaking holiday experiences. Winter Wonder Lights transports visitors along an outdoor evening path illuminated with custom light projections, interactive displays, musical light tunnels, and animated scenes set across historic courtyards and stone gardens. Families can also experience the daytime Holiday Walk, touring the lavishly decorated interior of the historic mansion featuring 50+ decorated Christmas trees, historic toys, and roaring fireplaces. Outdoor fire pits offer cozy marshmallow roasting with hot cocoa and spiced cider stations. Paved pathways make navigating with strollers convenient, and tickets must be reserved online in advance.
