'Tis the Season! The most dazzling holiday tradition in Kansas—Illuminations at Botanica!
From November 22 to January 3, step into a world of wonder every night as we transform Botanica into the brightest spot in Kansas. Recently voted one of the Top 10 Best Light Shows in the country, Illuminations is THE ultimate holiday experience for making memories and starting new traditions with friends and family.
With over two million lights, this year's event brings even more magic! Wander through our NEW one-of-a-kind vibrant butterfly installation located in the Butterfly House, explore our enchanted 62-foot Christmas tree that dances to holiday tunes, the holiday train express, and our very own land of miniatures full of holiday flare, and take in light displays around every corner.
You won't want to miss a single second of this spectacular holiday show! Enjoy all your favorite displays and see something new!! Groove by the Funky Tree, lose yourself in the Meadow Show, and find countless other hidden gems throughout the gardens.
Before the night ends, hop on the Khicha Family Carousel for a classic ride, swing by to see Santa and drop off your letter, and pick up special edition Illuminations apparel! Santa will be at Illuminations through December 23.
Visit on a weekend for a spirited experience! For a calmer vibe, weeknights are a great option.
Special edition Illuminations apparel will be for sale at our pop-up gift shops and online.
