The Garden Glow at the Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis City

Location: 4344 Shaw Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63110

Website: http://glow.missouribotanicalgarden.org/

The lights here are nothing short of amazing. It's definitely a show-stopping display and it is the most expensive of all the light displays in town. It's all outside so dress for the weather. If you buy tickets it includes admission to the indoor Gardenland Express train and poinsettia show.

Regular admission for non-members is $20-$24 per adult and $5-$10 per child for kids over 2. They sell tickets in advance online or you can walk up, but walk-ups are not guaranteed and they frequently sell out.

The installations are unique, they are not your typical "Christmas light" displays. Guests will enjoy lights scattered throughout popular garden locations, interactive photo opportunities, & music. Winter-themed concessions will also be available including s'mores stations. This is such a fun event for people of all ages! They keep adding more every year so don't think it's the same event that you saw in the past. 

So many cute photo ops!

The coolest element in my opinion is the beautiful show projected on Shaw's House. Here are some videos:
