Beautiful experience and very moving! Magical in the snow and appreciate the effort and legacy of putting this together. Booked tickets day of and was very happy it was part of the trip. One recommendation would be additional fires by the waiting area and pace out the groups slightly upon entry so everyone can go at their own pace more.

What a great cultural experience. Visually stunning. What a wonderfully creative & respectful way to celebrate the Wendat Nation. Learned so much. Highly recommend. From the website: "You are invited to Wendake, near the city of Quebec, to discover an enchanted night walk that celebrates the Wendat Nation and their way of life. As night falls, you will be transported along a 1.2-kilometre pathway infused with the magic of light, sound and video projections. This immersive multimedia experience will invite you into a collective adventure rich with emotion, that bridges the founding myth to a vision of a bright and promising future. Under the starry sky, immerse yourself in ancestral rhythm and song. Step inside the Great Circle to feel your connection with all living things."

It's very cool. I love the lights and the art behind it. Kids like it too but fly through it more quickly, I would spent way more time there, watch every show at least twice;)

They say to get there 10 to 30 minutes before your allocated hour but there is traffic getting into parking. Its not clear what we are suppose to do once we are in the wooded fence area. Do you we go to the cash or straight in line for the entrance? If you already bought your tickets online, you go to the corded line to enter. The light show was beautiful. What ruins it, is other people not respecting the no flash photography or using a flashlight. All in all, its a good family experience.

By far the biggest waste of money, waste of a Saturday night, waste of a drive, activity I ever experienced. It felt like an actual joke, I was waiting for the punch line and someone to tell us we were being pranked. This was so boring. I’m not sure who this is catered to but I felt so scammed. Hands down so so so boring. I was embarrassed the whole time with my boyfriend that this is what we picked to do with our night. The lineup was so long to get in. You wait as people stop and take pictures with a colourful sign. It’s a 30-45min walk to see 4-5 luminous stations. Some lights from Costco here and there. That’s it. We literally paid to take a walk. In line. We were not entertained or impressed by any of it. Never again. Don’t recommend at all. We ran out of there incredulous. The videos attached are the highlights. That’s it. Not even impressed.

ABSOLUTE Waste of money. Over price non-sense. Spent 5 minutes and just stormed out. I am soooo mad! I could have used that money on better attractions. DO NOT GO!!!! Wish I could rate this negative 10😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡plus $10 for parking in an open snow lot

I have done the Lumina series at Whistler Canada and wanted to check this out as well. It was really beautifully done. It’s not the easiest place to get to without a car, especially since this event happens only at night time, so that’s something to keep in mind. But definitely worth checking out. The installations were really amazing and the stories it tells are equally mesmerizing. I spent close to 2 hours in there. I did find the Whistler one to be nicer, more wow factor to it but still recommend checking this concept out once if you haven’t done anything like this before.

This was a very well done production. The lights and sounds all around you are captivating, and the stories are very interesting and educational. We were fortunate with the weather, the rain had just cleared up, and the full moon was on the rise.
