About this adventure

Bellevue Botanical Garden transforms into an enchanted botanical wonderland with over 500,000 miniature lights intricately sculpted by dedicated volunteers into blossoms, towering trees, whimsical critters, and Pacific Northwest nature motifs. Children love searching for hidden glowing frogs, creeping spiders, majestic peacocks, delicate hummingbirds, and cascading radiant waterfalls tucked among the botanical flora. The wide, paved gravel and boardwalk paths are accessible for all-terrain strollers and wagons. Because the display is outdoors, dressing in warm, water-resistant layers and sturdy walking boots is advised. Advance timed-entry tickets must be purchased online, with special $5 value nights on select weekdays and free entry for children ages 10 and under.
