Embark on a journey deep into our lower garden and enter an enchanted forest fit for a fairytale. On select nights, activities include a pajama party in paradise, live holiday performances, and shopping at our seasonal gift bazaar. Children will be mesmerized by a tree adorned with glittering lights that dance to the rhythms of holiday music, a photo with Santa, or an encounter with a storyteller.
