Tis’ the season of holiday lights galore! With so many options available for witnessing the magic that is winter decor in Pittsburgh and beyond, it may be difficult to decide which experience to choose. But don’t fret; we’ve got you covered.
Keep reading for all you need to know about the can’t-miss light displays at this year’s Dazzling Nights at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden—located just outside of Pittsburgh!
Experience a Mile of Lights + Wonder
Whether it’s date night, a unique outing with friends, or an evening of family fun, the mile-long immersive journey of Dazzling Nights truly makes for a one-of-a-kind experience.
On your walk, you’ll marvel at a 50-foot tall tree at the “Shimmering Square” and be transported “Through the Stars” in a tunnel of brightly illuminated stars. Wander through breath-taking 30 foot walls of light at the “Luminary Trail” and see neon light forest creatures; just try not to get lost in the “Disco Snowman Escape” maze! You’ll also take in the glow of larger-than-life ornaments and so much more.
As a bonus, the “Snow and Glow” snowmaking machine makes every night a snowy one! Be sure to dress extra warm and wear comfy shoes to make the most out of your experience.
Warm Beverages + Yummy Snacks
While you peruse, make a stop at the indoor hotspot at the “Shimmering Square” for an array of hot beverages, all available to add some “extra holiday cheer” to in the form of alcoholic spirits. Grab a quick bite such as a hotdog, Polish sausage, pierogies, popcorn, and more.
Then, take a break while enjoying live music. There are also additional food and beverage stations located among the event path!
