From baseball field to Christmas light forest! ššš

Heading deeper into the maze
But letās start from the beginning.
image
Entering Safeco the festiveness was immediately apparent.
Enchant began the day after Thanksgiving and runs through December 30th (excluding 11/26, 12/3, 12/10). They are even open ON CHRISTMAS! The event is open from 4-10pm or 4ā11pm depending on the day of the week. Tickets are purchased by arrival time, but once you are inside you can stay until closing.
We arrived at 4pm.

And were greeted by Victorian clad carolers.
The 200 level of the stadium is filled with a holiday market and food vendors. Market stalls offer everything from ornaments, to candles, to minerals, to puzzles. There are also special holiday beverages available including mulled wine, apple cider and spike hot chocolate.

Walking through the market level.
Photos with Santa are also available on the market level. When we arrived the Santa line was already long , so we skipped our chance to meet the big guy. However, VIP tickets guarantee guests a visit with Santa and include a catered gourmet meal.

Our first views of the maze.
Strolling through the market visitors have an elevated view over the maze. It was amazing to see the baseball diamond converted into a dazzling display of holiday lights. 2.5 million lights are used in the attraction!

Pathways marked by light covered arches of greenery lead visitors down to the field.

Visitors choose one of three ādoorsā to enter the maze. We chose door one.

Hubs being cheesy. āŗļø
According to the eventās website, the premise of the maze is:
After a terrible snowstorm hits the North Pole, Santa wakes to find all of his reindeer are lost inside Enchant, a hidden pocket of visible magic. Come explore the worldās largest Christmas light maze and help Santa find his nine missing reindeer in time to save Christmas.
With that in mind, each guest is given a map and scratch card as they enter the maze. The scratch card helps visitors keep track of the reindeer they find along the way. Stations are set up near each reindeer with a special coin to use on the scratch card.

Rudolf spotted!

We found Cupid last.
Did I mention there is an iceskating rink? Skate rental is $10, or you can bring your own. Near the rink āsnowā fell from the āskyā. The rink winds itās way in a loop past giant candy canes and through lit arches.

Skating!
Plethora of Pictures Time!!!

Has anyone else watched the Christopher Reeve Superman movies? This reminds of the little pod baby Superman rose through space during his escape from Krypton.

No red, green and gold here... just the Ivey cold colors of winter. Blue Christmas anyone? āļø šš

As visitors exited the maze everyone was gifted a candy cane. Christmas music piped throughout the stadium adding to the cheer. Some nights there is also live entertainment.
Tickets for Enchant start at $20 per person. Special night have been set aside as singles nights and on two dates during the run visitors can bring their DOGS!!!
