There is nothing quite like a road trip, but what about a holiday road trip? Here at OnlyInYourState, we love road trips, and we love Christmas. So, we thought there was nothing better than combining the two to create a spectacular road trip to some of the best Christmas displays in Idaho. Gather your family, fuel up the car, and blast the Christmas tunes – this is a holiday road trip in Idaho that is festive in every way.
You will need to break this holiday road trip into multiple days. You may be able to visit several displays in the Treasure Valley in a single night, but if you wish to complete the trip in its entirety, you’ll want a little extra time for travel. You can use this interactive map to customize this holiday road trip if you desire.
2355 Old Penitentiary Rd, Boise, ID 83712, USA
The first destination on our road trip is the Idaho Botanical Garden. Each year, the garden hosts its largest fundraiser – Winter Garden aGlow. During this annual event, the garden is adorned with more than 600,000 twinkling lights. You can walk through the magical light displays, listen to live choirs, warm up at the fire pits, admire Santa’s Cottage display, and even visit with the big man himself.
