Garden d’Lights at Bellevue Botanical Garden

Bellevue Botanical Garden’s annual light show, Garden d’Lights, is stunning, affordable and a family favorite. Over half a million sparkling lights are twisted by volunteers into fanciful flowers, critter shapes and even waterfalls. Past years’ favorites have included Charlotte, Willie the Slug and the smoking dragon. Download a critter map before your visit if you like.

Details: Open nightly Nov. 26–Dec. 31, 2022; 4:30–9 p.m., except Sunday, Dec. 25.

Cost: Tickets are $8 and ages 10 and younger enter free. Book timed-entry tickets online. Premium parking is available for $5 per car in the garden lot or park for free at adjacent Wilburton Hill Park.
