Lanterns features six decorated areas of the park called "vistas" spread out across the park grounds (see festival map below). Each vista celebrates a specific culture, whether real or imaginary. China, St. Louis, Australia, and Portugal will be closest to you as you enter the front gates. You will need to cross through Australia to get to the Germany and Neverland.

​

Experiencing Lanterns often requires significant amounts of walking. Please wear comfortable shoes, and feel free to bring along strollers or wagons for children if needed. Be aware that some terrain in the park is rocky and uneven, and there are some hills.

​

If you have mobility issues that require a wheelchair, some parts of Lanterns (but not all) are accessible to you. We recommend that you plan to park across the street from the park, and you may pull up to the front gate long enough to unload passengers and wheelchairs or scooters before parking the car.

​

• You can use asphalt or concrete pathways to reach China and St. Louis, so you will have full access to both of those vistas and our nightly stage show. Wheelchairs can also reach the edge of the green where Australia is located, as well as the top edge of the hill overlooking Portugal, although the food and activities for Portugal are located down a grassy slope.

​​

• Neverland can be reached on paved pathways, but you must cross the grassy area in Australia to get to the paths, and there are bumpy spots on the paths due to tree roots. Neverland is a 5-10 minute walk from Australia (see festival map below).

​​

• Germany is located at the top of a hill on a dirt trail that is mostly inaccessible.
