Welcome to the wonderfully brilliant River of Lights, a massive holiday light show held at the Albuquerque BioPark Botanic Garden.
This annual light display began as a modest fundraising event in 1997 with just a handful of light sculptures. Since then, it has grown into the largest holiday light show in the state with hundreds of light sculptures, millions of twinkling lights illuminating the park, and thousands of visitors flocking here each year.
Walk into the park and you'll be dazzled; the park hosts more than 500 light sculptures throughout the garden!
The display is open daily from November 30 to December 30, although it will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Tickets are $14 for adults and $7 for children 3 to 12. To buy your tickets or find out about special events and discounts, visit the event’s website or Facebook page.
