Lights & Music Magically Bring Adirondack Forest to Life for Enchanting Holiday

Have a wild night exploring the sights and sounds as the forest comes to life in the Adirondacks.

Wander through Wild Lights, an enchanting, illuminated, winter wonderland as thousands of lights transform The Wild Center campus in Tupper Lake into a twinkling holiday experience.

Wild Walk After Dark

Bask in the glow of thousands of lights as you experience the Wild Walk after dark.

We’ve strung the award-winning Wild Walk in tens of thousands of lights so you can experience the outdoors like never before.

Musical Forest

Stroll through the woods and surround yourself with music and lights on the quarter-mile looped trail. Over 130 trees are wrapped in colorful lights that illuminate the forest. 24 different speakers provide a wintertime collection of songs.

A new musical composition from Whatever Penny creates a magical three-dimension dreamy winter soundscape.

Sparkling Stickwork
