Missouri Botanical Garden

More than a million lights will illuminate some of the Missouri Botanical Garden's most iconic locations, walkways will be transformed into sensory light tunnels providing an explosion of visual magic, and traditional candlelight village displays, festive drinks, s'mores and great photo opportunities will delight crowds of all ages.

 

A St. Louis family favorite – the Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden – will close for the season on November 1-2, and children are invited to have an adventure exploring all the Garden has to offer before the gates close.

Visit one of the most dazzling holiday light displays in the Midwest on these special Family Nights when children's tickets are just $5.

The Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden features more than 150 vendors offering handcrafted items, locally produced food, native plants, herbs, live music and local brews, plus a two-acre Kid's Corner with farm animals (like llamas, alpacas and sheep!), circus performers, face painting, crafts, and a pumpkin patch with decorating let by Perennial.

The Missouri Botanical Garden welcomes Santa during extended evening hours during Jingle in July. Santa will be in the Garden in his summer attire and will take photos with visitors from 5 to 7 p.m. Plus, outside the Children's Garden, visitors can meet and take photos with the Ice Queen.
