Set a merry mood with friends and family and explore the illuminated floral display hall, the two houses of the Marjorie K. Daugherty Conservatory, and Sofia’s Play Garden during Bright Nights. From a 20-foot-tall poinsettia tree to a glowing forest of trees, guests will discover dazzling installations that showcase nature in a whole new light.
This year’s show invites guests into a Nordic winter wonderland, where a forest of wooden trees crafted from reclaimed pallets rises amid twinkling lights and whispering evergreens. Wander through Sofia’s Play Garden, aglow for the first time with enchanting lights and playful installations—and keep an eye out for a couple of cheerful trolls joining in the holiday fun. It’s a celebration of nature, imagination, and the magic of the season—where rustic charm meets winter whimsy.
The Family Chill Zone features fun patio games and cozy fire pits, where guests can warm up or purchase a S’mores kit to roast marshmallows.
With 31 nights to see the garden glow, 10 family fun nights, 22 visits from Santa, and 5 appearances by a certain mean, green, grouchy holiday character, Bright Nights promises festive fun for everyone!
