Unicorn World, an enchanting and interactive themed event, is set to captivate audiences of all ages in Chicago from Jan. 26-28 for its second consecutive year. Taking place at the iconic Navy Pier, this magical experience is the brainchild of the dynamic husband-wife duo, Patrick and Lauren Mines.

Renowned for its immersive activities, Unicorn World boasts a magical forest adorned with animatronic unicorns, offering attendees a whimsical journey into a realm of fantasy. The event features a plethora of themed attractions, including an enchanted forest, an arts and crafts section, story time, and life-sized, animated unicorns that add a vibrant touch to the spectacle.

In its sophomore year, Unicorn World promises to elevate the enchantment with new and interactive experiences, such as balloon bubble houses, a wish wall, and the world’s largest unicorn vending machine. Lauren Mines, co-founder of Unicorn World, LLC, expressed her excitement about creating a magical space for families and friends, aiming to foster connections through these delightful experiences. She mentioned, “Our desire is to keep building an event that is not only fun but also intended for families to enjoy year after year together. Regardless of whether you’re returning for the event a second time or if this is your first experience, you’ll walk away from the event feeling inspired.”

Having successfully enchanted audiences in 21 cities during its inaugural year, including Chicago, Miami, and Atlanta, Unicorn World is expanding its footprint. In addition to its return to Chicago, the Mines plan to bring the magic to new locations like Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Co-founder Patrick Mines emphasized the thoughtful curation of every aspect of the event, stating, “Every aspect of this event is created with thoughtful care and intention, and we are always thinking about ways to make it even more exciting for our guests.” The Mines are confident that the introduction of new activities this year will amplify the Unicorn World experience, promising delight for people of all ages.

Tickets for this fantastical journey are priced at $40 per person, with complimentary admission for children under the age of 2.
