Last night I had the pleasure of previewing the Alice in Wonderland immersive cocktail experience in downtown Indianapolis. I had never been to this type of event before but it was such a unique experience. The moment I walked into the door I was greeted by the Mad hatter. Then the hare brought us up the stairs and into Wonderland. The decorations made you feel like you had truly entered into a different universe. I really forgot where I was. The hare showed us where we could have some photo opportunities before and after the event.
Four people are set at a table, which was a relaxing way to interact and network with new people. The decor on the table was very detailed with parasails, clothes pens, tea sets, flowers and even paint brushes hidden within the bouquet. The white rabbit served us our punishments and cocktails throughout the night. At the beginning of the tea party we were given cards to pair us off by suite and that would play a role later on in the night. At one point in the evening we had to get up with groups and solve 3 riddles. The first riddle we had to solve was given to us by the mad hatter. Then we got a riddle directly from the Chesire Cat who’s was giving his famous smirk through the greenery.
Once we solved the riddles, we had the required ingredients we needed to make our first cocktail in our tea pots. While we were enjoying our cocktails and conversing we got a sudden visit from the Queen of Hearts. I was accused by her and the judge that I was the one who stole the tart, which was ironic because they had no idea I am in Paralegal school so I had to chuckle a little when the judge asked me why I was pleading innocent.
We then got to “paint the roses” and the Queen judged our paintings and the one she deemed the best received a special shot from the Queen herself. Then we had some fun dancing and the night concluded. The whole experience took about an hour and a half which was the perfect amount of time. I highly encourage you to take the opportunity to go if you are in the Indianapolis area or if you see this experience is running in your area.
