The cookie station and Santa visit run in Meeting Rooms A and B from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, December 18 and 19. Each cookie costs $2; the visit itself is included with a Conservatory Aglow ticket, which is sold at special-engagement rates and needed to get in. Pair it with a walk through the lit-up biomes and gardens. A good fit for preschool and elementary-age kids; plan for crowds on the last weekend before Christmas. ## Similar picks in Columbus - [Create a Gingerbread House at Franklin Park Conservatory](https://grassyknees.com/columbus/activities/create-a-gingerbread-house-at-franklin-park-conservatory--listing-cdde7addd661d1d40b004445) — Fri, Nov 27 · 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens · From $10 · checked Oct 24.
