If you’re a fan of Christmas, lights, doing outdoor activities with friends/family/loved ones/liked ones, then Burlington’s Royal Botanical Gardens has the perfect experience for you!

Enter Winter Wonders, a self-guided, unique outdoor experience guides visitors along Hendrie Park’s picturesque pathways adorned with charming festive lights, new interactive light to sound installations, and enchanting displays that celebrate the magic of the winter season. Stroll through their breathtaking garden to the rhythm of festive music while indulging in the warm tastes and fragrances of the holiday season.
Bravo, Royal Botanical Gardens!

There’s indoor live entertainment, and a place where you can, for a small donation, create and hang a Christmas ornament with your customized hand-written message on a majestic Christmas tree!
There’s a light installation that reacts to the volume of your singing voice so practice in the car and get ready to belt out some tunes to get this terrific tree to light up bright.

There are plenty of food and drink stations, places to sit by a crackling outdoor fire-pit, and best of all, there are snowmen displays scattered throughout, each with a delightfully punny joke on each one!

The wonderful winter-themed walk is 1.5 km, and takes approximately 1 hour.
