(upbeat music) - Lightwalk is back at Tracy Aviary and brighter than ever with nearly twice the light displays, including a lighted walkthrough tunnel, a colorful maze, and more.
And here with details is Stephanie Bletzacker.
Hi, Stephanie.
- Hello there.
Thank you for having us again.
- Yeah, so you're in your third year already?
- We are, yeah, so excited.
Every year, trying to make it better, and we think it's turned into a beautiful event this year.
We're really excited, yeah.
- You have lights everywhere, and how long is that tunnel?
You've got a long tunnel.
- 100-foot long tunnel.
Yeah, yep.
14-feet high.
And mimicked it after one that we had seen in a palace in England.
And we thought Utah needs a lighted tunnel so that you can walk through and run through and enjoy and take all the selfies.
And we actually had someone call last night that wanted to plan their proposal in the tunnel, so.
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah.
It's a beautiful little spot.
- So guests may be there the night a proposal is made?
- Oh, yeah, we've had a couple proposals already, but some, when they call us to plan it and get all the details so it's gorgeous.
- Oh wow, okay.
- Yeah, yeah.
- And you've got other things going too.
I know it's pretty immersive because the lights are everywhere.
- Yes, it is a place to just walk, stroll, let the kids run around.
We've got the maze that the kids love to run through.
The cafe's open.
It has coffee and hot cocoa and churros.
And now the Chase Mill, that's one of the most historic buildings in Salt Lake, is a life-sized gingerbread house, and Santa is inside.
So last year, they saved it for the events to be inside, but now it's Santa's home.
And so you get to enter the gingerbread house, visit with Santa at no charge, and you can get hot cocoa in there.
There's coloring for the kids in the basement.
It's a nice place to warm up and enjoy that cozy room, so.
- Everything they could possibly want.
- Yeah, it's so good.
- And so how much is it for adults and kids?
- So adults 12 and older is 17.95 and under 12 to three is 14.95.
Yep, babes to two are free to come in, and we do have a discount Monday through Thursday.
If you bring a canned good to donate to the Utah Food Bank, you get $3 off a ticket.
- Great.
- Yeah.
- Well, lots of fun, and we'll be watching for a proposal.
I guess we have to guess - Yes, do.
when it will be.
- Yep.
- All right.
(Stephanie laughing) - It's a beautiful spot.
- Thanks, Stephanie.
- Thank you so much.
- And if you'd like to know more about Lightwalk at the Tracy Aviary, it's looking beautiful, it will be open through December 23rd from 5:00 to 9:00 PM.
