The Garden Christmas Light Displays At Missouri Botanical Garden In Missouri Is Pure Holiday Magic

As the holiday season approaches, most of us are probably looking at packed calendars from now until December 25th, maybe even the New Year. During those busy days of the holiday season, we all need to take time to just relax. Get outdoors; breathe in the crisp winter air, and stroll past the best Christmas lights in Missouri for a magical holiday experience. You can experience all of this and more at the Garden Glow Botanical Gardens Christmas Lights event.

Earmark an evening this winter for a stroll through the magical Garden Glow at Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. The Garden Glow event typically runs between mid-November and early January.

Bundle up for your Christmastime adventure through the garden, drenched in more than one million shimmering lights.

The annual Christmas tradition features a Twinkling Tunnel, a Frosted Forest, and a Labyrinth of Light. However, the light displays are just the beginning of the Christmas magic that awaits at the Garden Glow.

Santa will also be on hand to meet the little ones and to take photographs during select weeks (see the full schedule on the website).

Feeling a bit chilled during your walk? No worries. You’ll be able to purchase hot chocolate, s’mores, and other goodies to warm you up along the path of the Garden Glow.

The garden’s cafes, Café Flora and Sassafras Café, will also be open, so you can sit down to a delicious meal or grab a quick bite to eat.

Admission to Garden Glow at the Missouri Botanical Garden also includes entrance to the Gardenland Express Holiday Flower and Train Show. Watch as the miniature train chugs along the 900-foot track.

The train tracks are flanked by seasonal flowers, including poinsettias.

Check out the official website of the Missouri Botanical Garden for more info about the gardens.
