Outdoor Holiday Fun For All Ages!
This seasonal light exhibition caters to families, couples, and groups for an unforgettable outdoor holiday experience in 2022 with new features, old favorites, brighter lights, & an updated layout! With themed evenings, a central location, free parking, timed entry, and outdoor fun, there is something for everyone! This season offers approximately eight acres of lights & cheer, which is a larger footprint than ever before and features the larger-than-life Alice’s Adventures at the Garden sculptures aglow in the Garden.
Alice’s Adventures at the Garden was originally designed and developed by the Atlanta Botanical Garden in collaboration with Mosaïcultures Internationales de Montréal.
Please note for the safety of our guests & staff, we will not have wood-burning fire pits at Holiday Wonders at the Garden in 2022, but guests can look forward to an increased number of fire tables and an expanded selection of interactive activities.
