Hotels near A Longwood Christmas at Longwood Gardens

A Longwood Christmas at Longwood Gardens is one of the most celebrated holiday displays in the United States. The vast gardens are decorated with hundreds of thousands of lights, and the conservatory fills with elaborately decorated trees, flowers and seasonal displays.

The outdoor gardens feature illuminated trees, fountains and walking routes, while the indoor conservatory stays warm and colourful whatever the weather. Organ concerts and carol singalongs are often part of the programme.

Entry is by timed ticket, and the most popular evening slots in December sell out weeks ahead. The event usually runs from late November into early January.

Pro Tip: Book a timed ticket for the late afternoon, so you see the conservatory in daylight and the outdoor lights after dark. Weekdays are noticeably quieter than weekends.
