During December, the two interconnected conservatories and tropical pavilions burst into seasonal splendor with the annual Holiday Poinsettia and Winter Succulent Showcase. Families wander through rooms filled with hundreds of vibrant heirloom poinsettias in shades of ruby red, blush pink, and frosted white, interwoven with fragrant pine garlands, flowering cyclamen, and cascading citrus blooms. Children will love spotting whimsical fairy houses tucked into the desert succulent collections, crossing stone bridges over trickling indoor koi ponds, and participating in self-guided botanical holiday scavenger hunts. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved, level concrete pathways throughout both greenhouses provide seamless accessibility for strollers and wheelchairs. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Benches surrounded by warm tropical foliage offer serene resting spots; clean restrooms with baby-changing tables are located in the main pavilion. • Age Suitability: Perfect warm winter retreat for infants, toddlers, young botanists, and parents needing a bright, humid refuge from cold winds. • Sensory Tips: Tropical greenhouse maintains an inviting 70-degree temperature with gentle waterfall sounds, earthy scents, and calm natural sunlight. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Misquamicut Holiday Light Show & Coastal Winter Wonderland](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/misquamicut-holiday-light-show-and-coastal-winter-wonderland--listing-24f0703fd22138c9bc08fb6f) — Nov 27 – Dec 27 · 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Misquamicut State Beach, Westerly · All ages · From $25 · checked Nov 5.
