Public Experience At Cedar Hollow
In the Eastern Woods at Cedar Hollow, reality bends and wonder takes root. Illusions and enchanted props transform everyday moments into memorable experiences: a self-aware mirror, distorting woodland furniture, a floating head, sentient paintings, and carvings of fauns and forest spirits that evoke forgotten tales.
Each stop is a different illusion. Follow the path through the trees, and take a photo at every one.
