The Gardens After Dark experience takes place three times a year, but the holiday experience is unique.
Marketing director Shaunna Rospierski said it was fun for families or a night out.
“During the day you see the beautiful colors and the lights and things like that, the natural light that comes on the plants, but being here at night you get a whole different perspective of how these plants look when lit by a soft lighting and some different effects that we created, so it’s a really cool experience, â€she said.
Tickets are sold online and range from $ 7 for children to $ 14 for adults.
Tickets are timed to keep traffic flowing, but customers are welcome to stay as long as they wish.
Thursday is the last day to discover the Magic Poinsettias, it takes place between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.
