Enchanted Lights – A Holiday Stroll (Pittsburgh) - Up to 23% Off
Lights look better under trees than tailpipes. The Grinch is funnier in person—especially when he’s close enough to steal your snacks. Just facts.
Enchanted Lights – A Holiday Stroll With a Twist
Forget the same old holiday routine. The Krischke family has turned their 70-acre Cranberry property into something different: woods full of lights, oddball fun, and just enough mischief to keep both kids and adults entertained.!
When to Visit
- November 29 – December 31
- Finale week: December 27 – December 31
New Year’s Eve Special
- 7:00 PM – “Torchmas”: Yes, that’s the Grinch. Yes, that’s a 30-foot flamethrower. Yes, we’re serious.
Why wait until midnight when you can start the chaos at 7 and still get the kids to bed on time? Parents: you’re welcome.
About the Creators
Ryan and Debra Krischke (with son Alex) don’t do “small.” They’ve run international paintball tournaments, million-dollar fundraising galas, and now, with over 40 years of experience, they are in charge of a winter wonderland.
What started as Three Rivers Paintball and Zombies of the Corn on their 70-acre Cranberry property has grown into Enchanted Lights – A Magical Holiday Stroll, a project built on years of planning, family teamwork, and a passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Alex calls it a dream come true, after a lifetime of learning the ropes from his parents’ event productions. Today, the Krischke team brings together the same big-picture thinking that once drew crowds from across the globe, now reimagined into a festive tradition for families closer to home.
Oh, and every ticket helps Crisis Center North and Cross Your Paws Dog Rescue. Your night out can be a good deed, indeed.
FAQs
What about the weather? Enchanted Lights runs rain, snow, or shine. Dress for the weather and wear shoes with good traction. Paths and lots are cleared as best as possible, though a few slippery spots may linger. If a closure is ever needed, guests will be notified by email.
Are strollers, wheelchairs, or walkers allowed? The path is gravel with some slopes. Benches are available for breaks, but it can be tough for wheelchairs, walkers, or small-wheeled strollers. If you bring a stroller or wagon, make sure it has large, all-terrain tires.
What kind of clothes should guests wear? It’s an outdoor event, so layers are your friend. Comfortable shoes with good grip are highly recommended.
How long does the walk take? At an easy pace, the stroll takes about 40–50 minutes. Leave time for s’mores by the fire, photos, and enjoying the lights. Guests must stay on the path for safety—wandering off means an early exit.
Can dogs come along? Yes, on dog-friendly days! A few simple rules: clean up after them (bags provided), use a non-retractable leash, and stay on the lighted path. After the walk, stop at concessions for a free pup cup—and don’t miss the chance for your pup’s photo with Santa.
