The holiday season is upon us, and that means it’s time for Heathcote Botanical Gardens’ Garden of Lights! This year, we’re celebrating a special milestone: our 10th anniversary of this magical event! Opening Thanksgiving weekend, Garden of Lights will illuminate the night every Friday and Saturday from November 29th through January 4th, 2025. The event runs from 5:30- 9pm with the last entry at 8:30pm. Our beloved “Illuminators” (affectionately known as elves) have been busy creating whimsical new light displays that will delight visitors of all ages. From favorite scenes to new surprises, there’s magic around every corner. Over 1 million lights transform our botanical gardens into a nighttime tapestry of AWEsome light vignettes. Wander through the gardens, sip on holiday refreshments, and meet Santa himself! With vibrant lights and festive music, Garden of Lights is perfect for family outings, date nights, or a joyful evening with friends. Tickets are on sale now: $15 for adults, $10 for members, and just $5 for children aged 6-12. With your admission not only do you get to wander over 3 acres of beautiful lights, but there is also music, photo ops, a scavenger hunt, food trucks and more! Secure your tickets soon and join us for this incredible holiday experience that draws over 11,000 visitors every year! Please be aware that no pets are permitted for this event.
