The ticket list describes more than 20 uniquely themed trees, thousands of twinkling lights, family photo spots, and a place to write a letter to Santa, plus the view of downtown from the top of the tower. The museum's visit page names 21 trees, including a vintage toy tree, an old Florida tree, a Victorian-era tree, and a nutcracker tree, and says the keepers' house and grounds are lit with lights and garlands. Parking is free, and the museum points families here to avoid downtown holiday crowds. Children must be 44 inches tall to climb the tower and must climb on their own; carrying a child in the tower is prohibited. The November 2026 calendar shows purchase links on seven evenings. December 2026 and January 2027 are linked as months, but those individual dates did not render on the fetched calendar. No start time and no dollar amount are printed on the organizer pages opened for this event. ## Similar picks in Jacksonville - [Surf Illumination — St. Augustine Beach Pier](https://grassyknees.com/jacksonville/activities/surf-illumination-st-augustine-beach-pier--listing-104bee9e586cd7e5620c2aa5) — Sun, Nov 22 · 3:30 PM – 7:00 PM · St. Johns County Ocean Pier, St. Augustine Beach · Free · checked Oct 27.
