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

                             

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

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

Regular admission for non-members is $22-$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.

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

Don't forget the train and flower show inside! 

We love trying to find abominable every year!
