Tips & Advice
- Arrive at the entry time on your ticket, because each ticket comes with a reserved entry time for starting your walk through the Gardens.
- Dress for the weather in layers, because Gardens Aglimmer is a rain-or-shine evening outdoors and you'll be walking the garden paths.
- On severe-weather days, watch your email and the Gardens' social media, because cancellations are announced there on the day.
- If loud crowds are hard for your family, book Sensory Friendly Night on Monday, December 14.
- For a grown-up evening, book Date Night on Tuesday, December 15, which is for ages 21+, and stop by Frosty's Tinsel Tavern for a signature cocktail.
