The Garden Christmas Light Displays At Longwood Gardens In Pennsylvania Is Pure Holiday Magic
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, especially for those of us who look forward to the Christmas season all year long. Even if Christmas isn’t our favorite holiday, many of us will likely agree that fewer times are as beautiful. There’s perhaps no better way to drink in some of that beauty than a visit to what is regarded by some as the best Christmas lights in Pennsylvania. It’s a treasured annual tradition for many.
Longwood Gardens is located at 1001 Longwood Road in Kennett Square, about an hour east of downtown Philadelphia.
Throughout the year, Longwood Gardens provides sheer natural beauty every where you look. Visitors come from miles around to tour the expansive indoor and outdoor gardens here.
When wintertime rolls around, however, the gardens transform into a spectacular masterpiece of more than half a million lights.
Generally running from mid-November until the first week of January (check the website or social media pages for exact days and times) it is one of the most popular Christmas light displays in Pennsylvania.
Upon entering the property, you'll probably want to start your journey outdoors as you explore the spectacularly lit grounds.
As you watch it chug along the tracks, you can almost envision what it would be like to embark upon a real railway adventure across the Pennsylvania landscape.
As you meander through all of the themed rooms, you'll see the creativity used to deck them all out for the Christmas season.
The Music Room, for example, boasts elaborately-decorated trees against the backdrop of an old-fashioned candy shop. Speaking of music, did happen to pass the musical fountain on the property when you arrived? It is one of the most unique fountains in Pennsylvania.
While at Longwood Gardens, be sure to check the schedule for the Organ Sing-Alongs.
Simply visit the Longwood Garden's website or Facebook page for more information.
