Outside, over 500,000 brilliant lights drape towering ancient trees, glowing fire pits warm chilly hands, and open-air fountain shows dance to holiday classics at the Main Fountain Garden and Open Air Theatre. Inside the soaring 4-acre heated Conservatory, thousands of vibrant poinsettias, paperwhites, and cyclamen frame dozens of elaborately decorated grand Christmas trees. Young visitors will be delighted by the outdoor Garden Railway, where miniature G-scale trains traverse bridges and tunnels through a snow-dusted natural landscape. Wide paved walkways accommodate strollers and wagons seamlessly. Timed-admission tickets are required and sell out weeks in advance for peak December weekends. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [A Longwood Christmas: Thanksgiving Opening Weekend](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/a-longwood-christmas-thanksgiving-opening-weekend--listing-8101bc270bd2ed26d87fef33) — Nov 20 – Nov 29 · 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM · Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square · All ages · From $45 · checked Nov 4.
