Wheaton, IL – Families across DuPage County can once again enjoy one of the region’s most popular holiday traditions as Christmas at Cantigny returns for its third year, bringing expanded features, new attractions, and a fully accessible light show experience.
According to Cantigny Park, the ½-mile walk-through display includes music-orchestrated lights, large-scale decorations, and themed installations designed for all ages. The path is ADA- and stroller-friendly, offering an easy route for families, seniors, and visitors with mobility needs.
Midway through the light show, guests will enter the historic McCormick House, where the first floor has been fully decorated for the season. Children can participate in a “Christmas Mouse Hunt,” while adults can browse the Noël Shop for holiday gifts, seasonal goods, and Cantigny merchandise.
Tickets vary by day and include both admission and parking. Wednesday prices are $12.99 for adults and $8.99 for kids ages 4–15. Thursday admission is $15.99 for adults and $10.99 for kids. From Friday through Sunday, adult tickets are $25.99 and children’s tickets are $15.99. Children ages 3 and younger are admitted free on all days.
Visitors can also enhance their experience with two optional add-ons. The Noël Lounge requires a $20 per-person deposit, which is applied to the final bill for cocktails and small plates served inside McCormick House. A Christmas Spirits Walk option is also available for $40 per person and includes three themed cocktails along the route as well as a commemorative Cantigny mug.
Park officials encourage guests to plan ahead as weekend dates fill quickly. Additional details and booking options are available at Cantigny.org.
