## About

Filoli's historic 654-acre estate in Woodside glows with more than 300,000 sparkling holiday lights across 16 acres of formal gardens. Families can wander through a radiant 210-foot light tunnel, admire glowing lanterns in the Rose Garden, and explore the lavishly decorated 1917 Georgian country house adorned with grand holiday trees and vintage ornaments.

Outdoor garden pathways are wide and stroller-accessible, with warming fire pits and chalets serving spiced cider, hot chocolate, and festive treats. Evening entry requires timed tickets; children under 5 are admitted free and estate parking is included.
