This season, the Conservatory sparkles with dazzling new displays indoors and out. Stroll through thousands of lights, from a whimsical penguin village and glowing boxwood house to a life-sized Candyland board game and projected winter scenes. The Ahlum & Arbor Arctic Terrace expands with more games like curling!
In addition, new rentable igloos with food and drinks will be available to reserve in the Bonsai Courtyard.
Returning favorites include the 100-foot light tunnel, ornament tree with 1,400 ornaments, a lively Dance Party and eight glowing igloos filled with seasonal fun.

Dec 25 Thursday
Best way to have fun while making new friends. Whether you've never done improv before or you're a seasoned veteran, come on out and play some games with us at Gresso's!
The idea behind improv is to create entire comedy scenes from scratch, similar to Whose Line Is It Anyway. In addition to being a lot of fun, it also offers lessons in everything from communication to thinking on your feet.
The meetup will be either on the second floor or Gresso's or in the basement (we'll post an update shortly before the start of each meetup). Stay afterward for a drink and/or some food with people!
Join us every Thursday for West Coast Swing class and practice!
