6/9/2023 0 Comments Botanica illuminations![]() Illuminations is one of the biggest names in the country when it comes to holiday light shows, and it’s easy to see why. In order to keep guests warm, there are heaters spaced around at various points throughout the walk, and most of the buildings have a station to provide hot chocolate, s’mores, or other warm holiday treats. The trail takes about an hour to complete. Several new exhibits had opened as well, including a sixty foot tall Christmas tree synched to music, and a controllable light orb display, which I promptly used to give the garden a Bethel College themed upgrade of maroon and gray. ![]() Walking around the garden, I noticed several of Botanica’s decorative art pieces and statues scattered around the garden had gotten a Christmasy upgrade either a chain of lights, a Christmas tree, or a spotlight bathing the lights in a colorful shower of red and green. The garden itself features several impressive sights after all, the show is made from over two million individual lights, with a large portion being programmed to sync up to songs for a musical light display. The Illuminations light show is one of the most popular winter attractions in the state, occasionally being featured in the annual USA Today Top 10 Christmas Light Shows. ![]() However, even after all the plants lose their leaves or fade away for the winter, Botanica has found a creative way to keep their garden’s beautiful colors.
