Try your luck at finding your way through the Forbidden City maze. Guests can also view performances by Chinese acrobats and dine on Asian cuisine. Accompanying attractions include mini-golf, face painting and virtual reality rides.
(5-11 p.m. today-Sun. $18-$49. Canterbury Park, 1100 Canterbury Road, Shakopee. lanternlightfestival.com.)
