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

Norfolk Botanical Garden is a breathtaking destination any time of year, but if you visit over the holidays, you’ll have the added benefit of over one million twinkling lights. Visitors can choose from a walking tour known as the Million Bulb Walk (November 8th – December 14th) or the drive-through Garden of Lights (December 15th – 31st). Each promises to enchant everyone in your family with the magic of the holiday season. So bundle up, wear your most comfortable walking shoes, and don’t forget to make a holiday music playlist if you plan to drive.
