Dominion GardenFest of Lights
You don’t have to be a horticulture nerd or an avid gardener to appreciate the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, especially during the Dominion GardenFest of Lights. Indoor and outdoor displays combine the garden’s plants with detailed light installations to tell stories from cultures around the world. You’ll definitely want to bring your camera (or at least snap some selfies) in front of the garden’s many incredible visual displays, like the light tunnel.
The event runs through January 8th, and is open from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm nightly except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (December 24th and 25th). Admission is $13 for adults, $11 for seniors (ages 55 and up), $8 for kids (ages 3 to 12 years), and FREE for kids under 3 years of age. Garden members get an even better deal with $7 adult, $5 child admission.
However you spend the holidays, we hope you have plenty of fun, food, friends, and family to celebrate with!
