Gardens Aglow at Heritage Museums & Gardens will lead you through a wonderland of lights, plus plenty of festive activities. If you’re looking for your next holiday tradition, be sure to check out this magical winter stroll.
This treasured holiday event transforms the grounds of Heritage Museums & Gardens with over 12 miles of twinkling holiday lights.
Visitors can stroll through the gorgeous gardens at their own pace and revel in the enchantment of the season through the beauty of the dazzling display.
The Special Exhibit Gallery will also be transformed into the North Pole, where kids and their keepers can visit with Mrs. Claus and a giant gingerbread house.
Plus, on Dec. 1-3 and Dec. 29-30, the gardens will host snuggly baby goats, silkie chickens, micropigs, chicks, bunnies and more for close-up cuddles and fun. And don’t forget to visit the antique carousel trimmed with festive decor.
