Garden Glow at the 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.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to inclement weather, the Garden Glow will not take place on Dec. 22 or 23. The Garden will reopen on Dec. 24 for daytime hours and be closed as scheduled on Christmas Day and December 26.

Wishing Trees, Snow Balls, and "Glowmen" will all light the night sky, and provide interactive fun for guests of all ages. Your family will love exploring the glowing snowman garden, magical light tunnels, interactive photo opportunities, s'mores, festive drinks and traditional holiday music. 

In addition to all the beautiful lights, Garden Glow offers singing, dancing, shopping and dining for the entire family.

Plus, don't miss photo ops with Santa on Nov. 21-22, 28-29 and Dec. 5-6, 12-13.
