Happy Holidays from us to you! Come celebrate the holidays here at the Garden with festive lights throughout the Garden. The whole garden will be lit with lights and transformed into a Winter wonderland. Santa Claus, s’mores, entertainment, and more will be offered through the holiday season here at the Garden. Mark your calendar for the most wonderful time of the year! All displays are outdoors with safety measures in place. Safety measures are also in place for Santa’s interaction with our guests.

Santa and the Grinch will be in attendance every night of Holiday Lights!
