DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Prepare to tumble down the rabbit hole and into a world of whimsy, wonder, and wild imagination.

ONE MAGICAL NIGHT ALL INCLUDED IN ONE TICKET
TICKETS = $65
Saturday June 27, 2026
6pm-9pm
What awaits you in Wonderland?
As you wander through Beech Creek, you’ll discover a world inspired by storybook tea parties, extraordinary adventures, and surreal atmosphere.
​Your journey through Wonderland also includes a full evening of food and indulgence.
​Guests will enjoy:
-
Dinner served in the Pavilion
-
Elegant grazing tables and shared bites
-
Desserts as the night unfolds
-
An open bar flowing throughout the evening
Within Wonderland, even the drinks have a story.
​
For this night only, Kast Iron Soda will be conjuring custom-crafted “Drink Me” elixirs — curious, house-made soda creations served from enchanted kegs hidden throughout the gardens.
​
Each sip feels like part of a new world… as if you’ve stumbled upon a secret potion stand tucked between the roses and riddles of Wonderland itself.
PERFORMANCES FROM
UNTAMED FLAMES
Firelight in the Garden
As night falls near the Butterfly House, the air will ignite with fire and wind.
​
Untamed Flames will bring Wonderland to life with mesmerizing performances, spinning blazing staffs through the dark, weaving fire through the air like living light, and breathing embers that feel almost mythic beneath the summer sky.
As the fire dancers and twirlers ignite the air around you, it won't feel like just another performance, but like witnessing a fantasy come to life.
You won't want to miss it!
MUSIC BY PRIMO
The night will hum with music drifting through the gardens.
​
In the Main Hub, Primo — a soulful ensemble from Jimmy & the Soulblazers — will fill the space with a live performance, weaving rhythm into the atmosphere of the evening as guests explore, gather, and celebrate.
​
Every corner of the gardens will carry its own energy, its own sound, its own moment of discovery.
THE MAD HATTER
Keep your eyes open… because Wonderland doesn’t stay still.
​
The Mad Hatter will wander the gardens throughout the evening, appearing unexpectedly among guests with playful chaos, curious conversation, and whimsical crowd work that blurs the line between performer and fantasy.
​
You don’t find the Hatter.
He finds you.
CARNIVAL OF CURIOSITY
Hidden deep within the Secret Garden lies something delightfully strange…
​
The Carnival of Curiosity, a collection of Arcane Arcade Games that feel like they were pulled from a forgotten chapter of Wonderland.
​
Here, guests can try their luck and skill at:
-
“Drink Me” Ring Rally
-
Lucky Doubles Dice Roll
-
Flamingo Race
-
Tea Time Toss
-
The Queen’s Impossible Shot
​
It’s part carnival, part challenge, and part fever dream where every game feels like a small adventure waiting to unfold.
