Atlanta Botanical Garden: Garden Lights, Holiday Nights

About this adventure

Celebrating its 16th spectacular season in Midtown Atlanta, Garden Lights, Holiday Nights transforms 30 acres of living botanical collections into a dazzling illuminated wonderland. Millions of synchronized LED lights drape through the canopy and forest floor, highlighted by the majestic return of 'Nature's Wonders'—one of the world's largest orchestral light curtains featuring tens of thousands of color-shifting vertical light strands dancing to holiday symphonies above the Storza Woods walkway. Visitors will also encounter the radiant 25-foot Ice Goddess living sculpture glistening in the Cascades Garden, giant illuminated botanical sculptures, and the whimsical model trains chugging through miniature mountain scenery. Stroll through the glowing Skyline Garden overlooking the glittering Midtown Atlanta towers, then stop by the festive Skylights Lounge or warming stations along the Great Lawn for spiked warm cider, rich hot chocolate, and artisan s'mores kits to roast over outdoor fire pits. The entire main loop is fully paved and stroller-friendly. Timed-entry reservations are strictly required and prime weekend slots routinely sell out weeks in advance.
