Take An Enchanting Winter Walk Through Dozens Of Glowing Sculptures At The Desert Botanical Garden In Arizona

Editor's Note: Unfortunately, this event was a one-time thing (and a very special one at that). However, if you're hoping to catch a glimpse of the incredible Desert Botanical Garden, you are still able to do so - it's open all year long!

If you're fresh out of fun things to do this winter in Arizona, head to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Chihuly in the Desert, a renowned art exhibition, has returned to the garden for another unforgettable run, featuring never-before-seen installations. Strolling along the garden paths and admiring the sculptures is such a peaceful way to spend a winter's day!

A trip to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix is always worthwhile, but especially so when Chihuly in the Desert comes to town.

This dynamic art exhibit features dozens of large-scale installations designed by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly.

Nestled among the garden's 50,000 native plants, the sculptures blend in perfectly with the landscape.

While undeniably gorgeous beneath the radiant desert sun...

...the dark of night adds a whole other layer of brilliance to the display.

Giving off an incandescent glow, the sculptures offer an ideal backdrop for a cool and calming winter stroll along the garden paths.

Chihuly in the Desert isn't new to the Desert Botanical Garden - but this year's display features many never-before-seen installations!

There's also a large indoor gallery at Dorrance Hall that's not to be missed.

Address: 1201 North Galvin Parkway, Phoenix, AZ 85008.

Hours are 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily, and access to Chihuly in the Desert is included with ticket purchase.

Chihuly in the Desert runs through mid-June, so no worries if you can't make it during winter! Visit the Desert Botanical Garden website or Facebook page to learn more and/or purchase tickets.
