Where Nature Shines Bright! Why Garden of Lights isn’t Your Typical Light Show

Garden of Lights presented by Wisconsin Public Service, is just around the corner! From late November through the end of December, join us at Green Bay Botanical Garden to slow down, breathe in the crisp air, and rediscover the enchantment of nature as we step into winter.

This isn’t your typical light show, though. Garden of Lights is a celebration of nature’s beauty through sparkling outdoor scenes. Our mission at Green Bay Botanical Garden is to connect people with plants, even during the quietest months of the year — and Garden of Lights is our way of continuing to help guests experience the wonder and serenity of nature!

As you walk the light show path, enjoy illuminated sculptures that reflect the natural world, including a lineup of immersive displays that will captivate Garden guests of all ages! Experience dazzling soundscapes like Fountain of Lights and the Lake of Lights, and interactive features like the Tic Tac Snow game or the Petal Path, where each step brings color to life beneath your feet.

And don’t miss the Sparking Snowflake Arch, Caterpillar Glow, or even the Meyer Bridge, which are sure to provide the perfect photo-worthy moment!

In addition to our past favorites, this year’s guests can enjoy two brand-new immersive experiences! Tic Tac Snow is a larger-than-life glowing game that’s fun for the whole family (and will bring out your competitive spirit!), and Aurora in Bloom is a spectacular laser show that will leave you mesmerized.

The Garden also offers several themed Bright Nights to make your Garden of Lights experience even more memorable. On November 30, Kids Glow Free! Kids 12 and under get free admission with a paid adult Walking Ticket.

Families will also love our two special themed evenings later in the season: Frozen Magic and Reindeer Cheer! On December 14, we welcome you to “let it glow” as you meet Anna and Elsa, pose for photos, and embrace the North Wind during our Frozen Magic themed night. Then, on December 21, join us for Reindeer Cheer as we celebrate the magic of Santa’s reindeer with themed activities, festive photo ops with actual reindeer, and — of course — plenty of twinkling lights.

Whether you’re coming for a cozy date night, a family outing, or a new holiday tradition, Garden of Lights transforms Green Bay Botanical Garden into a dazzling winter wonderland that celebrates the beauty of nature. For hours, tickets, and more information, visit GBBG.org/Lights.
