Airlie Gardens

Our history dates back to 1886 and has since celebrated more than a century of gardens by the sea. Join us on a self-guided walking tour of these 67 acres of historical gardens; as you wander Airlie’s many paths you’ll gaze upon beautiful gardens, mighty live oaks, tall pines and lakes abundant with colorful wildlife. If you have limited mobility, we offer a trams service which travels through the property providing six stops where you can get on and off the tram to tour the gardens; check our website for the schedule. Our Airlie Gardens Concert Series is your chance to relax under the broad branches of the Airlie Oak as the area’s premier musicians perform every first and third Friday, May through September. Looking for another family friendly event? Airlie's holiday light show, Enchanted Airlie, begins the Friday after Thanksgiving and runs select days until the Saturday before Christmas. A Wilmington tradition, Enchanted Airlie is a wonderful opportunity to bring the whole family together to share in the joy of the season. Enjoy beautiful holiday flowers, festive lights, live musical entertainment, and a fabulous LEGO display! Airlie Gardens, the pride of Wilmington, is a destination spot for garden lovers throughout the world.
