Let’s enjoy the holiday Garden of Lights at Brookside Gardens! Brookside Gardens has been transformed into a magical winter wonderland for Garden of Lights. Walk through the outdoor twinkling lights and glimmering displays that dot the paths and flowerbeds throughout 50 acres in Wheaton. More than one million dazzling and colorful LED lights are handcrafted into original works depicting animals, flowers, and other natural elements.

**NB: You must buy your own non-refundable individual tickets in advance with a 5:30 PM entry time here:** https://brooksidegardens.ticketsauce.com/e/gol25

❶ **What we'll do:** From the parking lot of Brookside Gardens, we'll walk east into the gardens and enjoy the holiday lights for about an hour.
