The light show Is beautiful. My favorite part was the lights with music. Is a perfect place to go with a family or friends. I went there and I would love to give my thanks to the team that worked in the show, they were really attentive, they had patience with me since it was my first time here. They answered all my questions about the drinks, the menu, the marshmallow are with the fire. They had patience when I was deciding what to order. I'll definitely go back to a different show they made just because they left a really good impression on me. Definitely recommend to buy the tickets in advance.

Visited the gardens for the Christmas lighting. The gardens were beautifully decorated with lights all around including musical show. This is a great activity to enjoy with kids. It is highly recommended to purchase tickets in advance and use an early time not to catch the crowds and long lines.

Visiting the botanical gardens at night was absolutely magical. The lighting transforms the entire space into something peaceful, immersive, and almost surreal. Walking through the gardens after dark feels like stepping into a completely different world — quiet, beautifully lit, and incredibly calming.
The way the trees, paths, and flowers are illuminated creates a perfect balance between nature and art. It’s not just a walk, it’s an experience. Whether you’re there for a romantic evening, a peaceful solo stroll, or just to unwind, the atmosphere is truly special.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the gardens in a more unique and memorable way.

Bought tickets for Christmas night and good thing we did - they were sold out (which we didn't know until we were parking)! They were, shocking to us, absolutely packed. The traffic was intense and we did have to pay for parking but worth it - there was a huge parking garage too! They have some drink specials (cocktails and mocktails - for $$$) and even had a section to buy and make s'mores (and a gift shop, of course). They keep you on a path so you're sure to see all the lights. They're really beautiful. You can tell they really do put so much effort into each of them. The little train was adorable and the plant garden was dark , warm (toasty)with sweet little light but beautiful. It leads you to a poinsettia Christmas tree that was beautiful. It was an easy walk, no bumps or rough terrain if you're wobbly on your feet or in a wheelchair. Would recommend if you're looking to walk and see Christmas lights vs. driving through Christmas lights.

I would say that it was a pleasant experience for a date night once inside the park, though I found the price to be somewhat high. Certain areas were indeed very beautiful and tranquil, and the lighting was quite lovely. However, there were some aspects that were unfortunately quite disappointing and warrant mentioning. I had anticipated more based on the website's photographs, but as expected nothing is in bloom during the winter months, which I believe should be reflected in the pricing, especially since many attractions were closed.
Regarding arrival, we were advised to arrive 15 minutes early, which we did. However, we were then informed that we needed to wait until our precise arrival time. This led to a rush of people trying to enter, which took an additional 10-15 minutes. The odor emanating from the restrooms was quite strong and the conditions within were unacceptable. The main entrance also had a noticeable smell of urine and other improperly disposed or uncleaned items from the restrooms. Furthermore, there is an additional charge for parking on top of the ticket price, and the parking garage was quite crowded.
Despite these less favorable aspects of my visit, I would still be interested in returning during a time when everything is in bloom, hoping that improvements have been made to the issues I encountered. As i believe in second chances. Overall, it was an acceptable experience, but I had simply expected a bit more.
