Thank you to all who dedicated creating and putting up such a beautiful light display and all the hard work to run it after hours. There were many teens working hard, being kind, attentive, respectful, keeping everything clean and well stocked, smiling, stoking the fire. It was a beautiful experience! Thank you!!

The garden transforms into a breathtaking wonderland of lights as night falls. Thousands of twinkling lights adorn the trees, casting a warm and ethereal glow that creates an enchanting atmosphere. The attention to detail in the light displays is remarkable, with cascading waterfalls of lights and illuminated pathways that make you feel like you're in a fairytale. The garden's iconic features, such as the lake and gazebo, are elegantly illuminated, creating stunning reflections on the water's surface. Visitors to Meadowlark Botanical Garden during the Christmas season can also enjoy the activities of roasting marshmallows and sipping on hot chocolate. Meadowlark Botanical Garden is the perfect place to create lasting memories with your family and loved ones. I highly recommend visiting during the Christmas season for a truly unique and enchanting experience that will leave you in awe.

It's nice being able to walk around and see all of the different features at your own pace and take pictures. I also enjoyed the s'mores. There are plenty of benches if you need a rest, but there are some steep inclines to be aware of if you are taking people who have difficulty walking.
