Illuminations

THIS WEEK IS KID AT HEART WEEK DURING ILLUMINATIONS. BRING IN TWO CANS OF FOOD FOR THE KANSAS FOOD BANK AND ADULTS GET IN FOR $5. Enjoy the lights of Illuminations, watch Christmas movies and other activities.

5:30 to 8:30 p.m. every evening Nov. 25 through Dec. 31, except Dec. 24 and 25.

Illuminations is a family-friendly event that showcases Botanica’s eleven acres of beautiful gardens in a completely different light. It has become one of the area’s premier holiday events, but this year the event is getting a festive facelift! With the addition of more than 700,000 new lights, Illuminations will be Kansas’ largest holiday light display. More than 5,000 luminaries will line garden pathways, more than 120 trees will be expertly lit, and many structures will be lit with twinkling white lights. As visitors enjoy their walk through the Gardens, they will enjoy the warm glow of luminaries, the sound of electric trains traveling around pine trees, the reflections of trees on the pond, the magic of the flocked forest at Candy Cane Lane, the fragrance of chimineas, the warmth of hot cocoa and cider and the joy of live musical groups. In total, hundreds of thousands of lights combine with nature to create a stunning atmosphere and a “HO, HO, HO” lot of holiday fun! Support from special events such as Illuminations help us showcase the Gardens, maintain Botanica as one of the Midwest’s leading botanical gardens and further our mission.
