As you stroll through illuminated pathways, you’ll encounter towering chameleons, radiant flamingos, shimmering butterflies, luminous orchids, and the festival’s breathtaking centerpiece - the 195-foot dragon rising from the Garden’s lake.
Your Evening Includes:

• A magical after-dark journey through 20 acres of illuminated gardens
• Themed worlds are perfect for photos and family moments

ACCESSIBILITY …The pathways are hard surfaces. Most passages feel narrow and a couple of areas require steps. There aren’t many places to sit along the way, but there is a coffee stand area that has a few picnic tables for those of us who need to sit a bit.
