Winter WonderLights
The State Botanical Garden
transforms into a holiday
wonderland for a walk-through
holiday light show
Beginning Dec. 1, the University
of Georgia will host its first Winter
WonderLights show with a Garden
of Delights, Candy Cane Lane and
Cone Tree Plaza, among other
magical features, along a half-mile
trail at the State Botanical Garden
of Georgia, in Athens.
Lighted displays will delight
children and adults every evening
through Jan. 9, 2022. The Alice
Hand Callaway Visitor’s Center
will be transformed into a holiday
market, where guests can shop for
gifts and souvenirs. Refreshments
such as cookies, s’mores, bottled
water, hot chocolate and coffee
will be available throughout the
light show.
“Winter WonderLights will be
a way for us to engage with
people from across the state
and beyond,” said Jenny
Cruse-Sanders, State Botanical
Garden director. “Our focus is
to connect people to places and
nature, and we are committed
to being a leader in botanical
education, horticulture, research
and conservation. This new family
friendly outdoor event gives us a
way to show off our world-class
botanical garden and generate
support for our impactful
programs. In many ways, it also
celebrates the hard work of our
talented staff and students who
care for this beautiful facility.”
The half-mile trail will take
between 45-60 minutes to
complete and is fully ADA
accessible. Tickets are $15 per
person, free for children under
three. Tickets, for designated
dates and times to visit the show,
are available at wonderlights.uga.
