ENTER TO WIN a Family 4-Pack to Earth Illuminated

By Christen Reiner, Macaroni Kid Lakewood-Littleton & Macaroni Kid Denver Editor and Publisher May 12, 2021

Earth Illuminated is an immersive "Artainment" experience for the whole family on the 16th street mall at Denver Pavilions.

Christen Reiner, Macaroni Kid Downtown Denver publisher, had a chance to preview the experience. Here are her Top Ten reasons they loved it and some bonus tips too! [Giveaway info is below!!]

🌎 The second we entered, I felt a sense of relaxation sweep over me. The sights and sounds were calming, almost magical.

🌎 I'm a photo gal.... just ask my poor family. Interactive props, gorgeous backdrops, and colorful themed sets mean that Earth Illuminated was created for selfies, photos, and videos. 

🌎 I had the opportunity to visit with Heidi and Nate, founders of Blazen Illuminations, the creative team behind Earth Illuminated. Several scenes were created to honor family members and their stories, like Grandpa's "Fun is Mandatory" mantra.

🌎 My teen daughter said that Earth Illuminated is "where it's at" for kids her age. She and her friends spent hours there, creating their own private photo shoot.

🌎 There is no doubt that this interactive journey into the wonders of our Earth is orchestrated by an award-winning special effects team. The vibrant theatrical lighting, immersive sound design, projection, and large-scale elements are impressive, to say the least.

🌎 The perfect date night. Just sayin'.

🌎 Earth Illuminated is great for all ages. Young kids will get a kick out of exploring nature from a bug's perspective, teens will be in selfie heaven, and adults will enjoy the reprieve from real life.

🌎 Heidi and Nate's daughter, Mercedes, makes her debut as an artist in Earth Illuminated. I love seeing teen entrepreneurs do their thing. Look for more info coming about her soon!

🌎 Earth Illuminated is designed in such a way that you can easily practice social distancing. COVID cleaning practices are in place as well.

🌎 The Denver Pavilions is the perfect location for Earth Illuminated. Parking options are abundant and close, and it's easy to add a walk, some shopping, or a meal to your day in Denver.
