A Legacy of Delight

In 2011, Lulu Huang, the mastermind behind Imaginarium, led a team of entertainment-focused artists and technicians to create the first Chinese Lantern Festival in the U.S. Her dream: to bring to America one of her most joyful memories from where she grew up in China. The vision was to create an experience where guests could journey through a park filled with awe-inspiring exhibits, illuminated with millions of lights. Other diversions would include carnival rides and games, food, and more. That vision came true when Global Winter Wonderland opened at Great America in Santa Clara.

Building on that success, Imaginarium has evolved every year, but continues to delight guests of all ages. Each event is uniquely designed to make the most captivating experience, perfect for the time of year and the event venue. From those first two years in Santa Clara, to date the event has expanded to cities across the U. S. including San Diego, Los Angeles, Ontario, Tulare, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Sacramento. And in 2024, even more locations are being planned with even more imaginative attractions being conceived so both new and returning guests will enjoy the unique world being created just for them.
