After dark, the whole park is magically lit by thousands of twinkling lights, certainly brightening up these long January nights.

One of the showpieces is the Illuminated Forest, a magical, mystical wonderland nestled in the extensive and beautiful woodland of the park. It is filled with mysterious characters and exciting themed play, lining the meandering forest path.
