Spanning 30 acres of botanical woodland and formal gardens, the exhibition features millions of sparkling, energy-efficient LED lights choreographed to holiday music. Strolling the paved, stroller-accessible walkways, visitors marvel at monumental illuminated sculptures including the towering 25-foot Earth Goddess shimmering in ice blues, the incandescent Orchestral Orbs pulsating across the Great Lawn, and glowing illuminated tunnels along the Skyline Garden. Children adore watching model trains navigate through festive miniature landscapes in the Children's Garden and roasting marshmallows at cozy outdoor s'mores stations. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Atlanta Botanical Garden: Garden Lights, Holiday Nights](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/atlanta-botanical-garden-garden-lights-holiday-nights--listing-f29701495aa0644602aeb428) — Nov 14 – Jan 10 · 5:00 PM – 11:59 PM · Atlanta Botanical Garden · All ages · From $39.95 · checked Nov 4.
