What to Expect at Christmas in the Gardens

Don't miss all the beautiful Christmas lights. Let the kiddos visit with Santa and enjoy caroling from local choirs. They will have s'mores and hot chocolate to enjoy. Just be careful because you just might run into the Grinch.

It doesn't matter if it's warm or freezing this year; there will always be snow at Christmas in the Gardens.

Attending Christmas in the Gardens should be a family tradition. I know my family, we love to go every year.  In fact, it's the place where my husband proposed, and it was magical.

Best Photo Spots at Amarillo Botanical Gardens

Consider starting a new family tradition of taking a picture in the light tunnel every year. It's one of the best photo spots. Other areas include in front of the waterfall in the Tropical Conservatory.  Oh, and of course, pictures with Santa.
