11/28-12/27 - Holidays at the Garden

Step into a sparkling wonderland where millions of lights glisten, fountains dance in festive rhythm and holiday cheer fills every Garden path. Bring family and friends to gather around a glowing outdoor fire to warm up as you treat yourself to irresistible holiday bites, sip on a warm drink that melts away the winter chill and browse Big Leaf Café for one-of-a-kind gifts that make the season shine. Don’t miss a photo in front of the dazzling Orchid Tree – this radiant centerpiece just outside the Great Hall is the perfect spot for capturing memories that last all year. Your 2025 holiday adventure at the Garden is waiting!
