Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, promises sheer natural beauty all year round, welcoming visitors to tour its expansive indoor and outdoor gardens.

When wintertime rolls around, however, the popular gardens transform into a spectacular masterpiece of more than half a million lights. This holiday season, A Longwood Christmas runs through January 5, 2020.

Start your journey outdoors as you explore the grounds, dotted with Christmas trees of all shapes and sizes awash in Christmas lights.

Stroll through a tunnel of lights, marvel at the orbs, and sing along to the holiday music that's synced to the holiday lights displays. You can warm up in front of a roaring bonfire, too.

You'll discover plenty of spots, too, that provide the perfect holiday backdrop for photos and selfies. After you've explored the winter wonderland outside, head indoors.

Inside, visit the themed rooms, all decked out for the Christmas season. The Music Room, for example, boasts elaborately-decorated trees against the backdrop of an old-fashioned candy shop.

A Longwood Christmas also features a classic Garden Railway, where you can watch the miniature train chug along the tracks.
