Walk Through A Tunnel Of Over 100,000 Lights This Holiday Season At The San Antonio Botanical Garden In Texas

If you're busy planning your holiday season itinerary, make sure it includes the San Antonio Botanical Garden. Every year, the garden hosts Lightscape, a magical event featuring all sorts of dazzling holiday light displays. One of them is a tunnel with more than 100,000 shimmering lights, and it promises to be an enchanting experience for kids one to 91. Here's what to expect at this Christmas at the San Antonio Botanical Garden:

Spanning 38 acres, the San Antonio Botanical Garden is a lush oasis in the heart of the Alamo City.

With a variety of themed gardens featuring plants from across Texas and all over the world and family-friendly events year-round, there's something for everyone here.

But during the holiday season, the garden transforms! Every year, the San Antonio Botanical Garden hosts Lightscape, a critically acclaimed U.K.-based light show with dazzling displays at every turn.

Following a one-mile illuminated path that meanders through the garden, visitors will marvel at installations created by local and international artists.

Many of the displays here, such as a field of bluebonnets extending far as the eye can see, are unique to our state.

Have we mentioned this is a gorgeous date night idea?

Understandably, the botanical theme is clear! But you'll also find other fun displays too.

Certain elements, like this cathedral arch tunnel boasting over 100,000 twinkling lights - are Lightscape fan-favorites.

And you'll find glittering Christmas trees aplenty!

Still, other displays are more artistic and/or abstract.

Whatever your favorite light display here, you'll find oodles of festive sights, along with tasty food and drinks available.

Don't forget to bring a camera! There will be plenty of photo-worthy moments to capture and cherish for decades to come. Lightscape typically runs from mid-November through the new year.
