Experience the wonder of the season at Holidays at the Garden, a breathtaking light display that transforms Daniel Stowe Conservancy into a glowing celebration of nature, artistry, and holiday magic.

As millions of lights illuminate winding garden paths, you’ll be surrounded by the serene beauty of fountains that dance to festive melodies and landscapes adorned in radiant color. Savor seasonal bites and warm beverages by the fire, browse for distinctive gifts in the Big Leaf Café, and create timeless memories beneath the Garden’s iconic Orchid Tree, a luminous centerpiece that embodies the spirit of the season.

New this year, delight in the Prairie Castle Playground, where twinkling lights and whimsical design make for unforgettable evenings that your children will never forget. Be sure to check their calendar for special experiences including visits with Santa and rides aboard the holiday trackless train on select nights to add an extra touch of magic to your visit.

There are visits with Santa on Friday and Saturday evenings in December until Christmas from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Enjoy rides on our holiday trackless train on Saturday evenings in December 6-8 p.m. There's also an adults-only speakeasy (shhh!) with exclusive holiday cocktails.

From family moments to romantic strolls, this beloved tradition offers an extraordinary blend of elegance and enchantment, welcoming guests from near and far to celebrate the holidays in full bloom.
