Daylight Savings Time has come and passed which means winter is on its way! This year, there are plenty of gorgeous winter attractions you can visit in DC but we found the most magical one of all. Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is the best enchanting winter walk near DC that you need to visit.
Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is in Vienna, Virginia about 40 minutes away from DC. It's a gorgeous place every other day of the year.
Many of the displays are animated. Bees flit around a hive in the flower garden, a squirrel shakes his tail in a tree, and frogs jump in a light-filled stream.
If you want to warm up, head into the Snowflake Shoppe for some holiday shopping. Or grab a cup of hot cocoa or hot cider near the fire pit. You can also roast s'mores and enjoy light snacks!
Meadowlark's Winter Walk of Lights opens this weekend on November 10th and is open through January 7th. You can buy tickets at the door but since they sell out, you should purchase in advance.
