The day after Thanksgiving, Christmas season swings into full gear. There’s no better place to shine bright than at the Holiday Lights in the Garden at Florida Botanical Gardens. Every evening from November 25th through December 31st, more than 750,000 lights transform the gardens into a twinkling wonderland. It’s sure to get any Grinch into the holiday spirit. Santa Claus will make special visits and there will be nightly live entertainment. Be sure to bring the whole family, children under 12 are free and there’s a $4 suggested donation for adults. On your way back to Postcard Inn, end on a sweet note at The Candy Kitchen for delicious ice cream, candy, and other sweet treats!
