Visitors can enjoy scenes depicting the classic Twelve Days of Christmas and when you’re tired, make sure to keep warm at the coffee shop for a cup of joe or hot chocolate by the fire. Of course, you have to dig into some gingerbread too.

Add some extra fun with the Snowflake Exchange! Children 12 and under can create a snowflake at home using an 8.5×11 sheet of white paper. Bring it to The Gardens during your visit and trade it for a cup of hot chocolate at our Coffee Shop. Your snowflake might even decorate the Coffee Shop windows this Christmas season!
And if you want to visit with your furry friend, note that pets are not allowed inside The Gardens from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM between December 1 and January 6. They are welcome from 8:00 PM until closing.
