Imaginarium Brings Magic, Lights and Wonder to Ontario

By Gina Smith | SPMG Media

Families throughout Southern California are discovering that one of the Inland Empire’s most captivating attractions isn’t a theme park—it’s an unforgettable walk through a glowing world of imagination.

Located adjacent to Ontario Mills, Imaginarium: Journey to Oz has transformed more than two-and-a-half acres into a dazzling outdoor experience featuring over five million LED lights, larger-than-life illuminated displays, interactive attractions, mirror rooms, live entertainment and countless photo opportunities. The attraction has quickly become one of the region’s most popular evening destinations for families, couples and visitors of all ages. 

Inspired by The Wizard of Oz, guests follow the famous Yellow Brick Road through enchanting gardens, glowing forests, vibrant fields of light and magical environments where fantasy comes to life. Along the way, visitors encounter beautifully illuminated versions of beloved Oz characters while exploring immersive worlds designed to delight every generation. 

What makes Imaginarium unique is that it blends art, storytelling and technology into a single experience. Beyond the spectacular light displays are infinity mirror rooms, interactive photo stations and live performances featuring aerial artists, circus acts, BMX stunt riders and other entertainers—all included with admission. Visitors typically spend between 90 minutes and two hours exploring everything the attraction has to offer. 

The visionary behind Imaginarium is Lulu Huang, who founded the concept after bringing one of China’s beloved lantern festival traditions to the United States in 2011. Her original event, Global Winter Wonderland, evolved into today’s Imaginarium, which now appears in several cities across the country. Huang’s mission has been to combine traditional lantern artistry with modern lighting technology to create immersive experiences that inspire joy, wonder and togetherness. 

Its popularity is easy to understand. Nearly every corner of Imaginarium is designed to be experienced—and photographed. Social media has helped fuel its growth as visitors eagerly share breathtaking images of glowing rose gardens, magical forests, colorful tunnels and spectacular nighttime landscapes. Yet beyond the Instagram-worthy backdrops, the attraction succeeds because it encourages families to slow down, explore together and experience genuine moments of wonder. 

For Ontario, attractions like Imaginarium continue to elevate the city’s reputation as one of Southern California’s premier destinations for shopping, entertainment and family recreation. Combined with Ontario Mills, Toyota Arena and the city’s expanding entertainment district, experiences like this help draw visitors from throughout the Inland Empire, Los Angeles and Orange County.

Whether you’re looking for a memorable family outing, an unforgettable date night or simply a chance to experience something different, Imaginarium offers an enchanting escape where imagination truly comes alive.

Meghan Markle’s Glazed Donuts Recipe

In the third episode of With Love, Meghan on Netflix, Meghan Markle brings a warm, nostalgic touch to the kitchen with her recipe for glazed baked donuts. Set against a backdrop of gentle music, relaxed conversation, and beautifully styled countertops, Meghan shares a recipe that feels both effortlessly elegant and comfortingly simple. She reflects on the joy of baking as a way to connect with loved ones and create moments of calm, saying, “There’s something special about slowing down and making something sweet—literally and figuratively.” These donuts are a perfect example: soft, delicately sweet, and finished with a whimsical glaze that makes them feel almost too pretty to eat.

Meghan walks viewers through the recipe with her signature warmth and clarity. She begins by mixing together pantry staples (flour, sugar, baking powder) then adds in a smooth blend of buttermilk, vanilla, egg, and melted butter. Using a piping bag, she neatly fills a donut pan and bakes them until just golden. Once cooled, each donut is dipped in a silky glaze made from icing sugar and buttermilk. To finish, she delicately presses dried edible flowers on top, giving them a floral, Instagram-worthy flair. As she says with a smile, “It’s about the little details.” Of course, viewers are encouraged to make it their own, think colorful sprinkles, chocolate chips, or crushed pistachios for a personal twist.

Ingredients (makes 6)

1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons (30ml) melted butter

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

Icing Glaze

2 tablespoons buttermilk

1 cup icing sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 350F (175C).

In a bowl mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder.

In a separate bowl whisk the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract and melted butter together until smooth.

Mix the wet ingredients mix into the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined.

Spoon the donut batter into a piping bag and pipe the mix into the donut pan evenly, filling each one up to about 3/4 full.

Bake for 10 minutes until the donuts are very lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean.

To make the glaze, mix the buttermilk and icing sugar together until a smooth paste forms.

Dunk the top of the donuts into the glaze and place on a tray.

While the glaze is still wet, top with dried edible flowers.

Note: Meghan tops with edible dried flowers, but you could add sprinkles or choc chips or anything else that you prefer. Enjoy!
