Meadowlark’s Winter Walk of Lights is an elegant garden trail aglow with countless sparkling lights. Take an evening stroll through the enchanting Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, adorned with lighted trees and displays featuring nature, winter, and holiday themes. The half-mile paved trail is wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Sip on a cozy, hot beverage (with or without spirits), or try the new cold Butter Beer for a festive twist, as you walk through the twinkling lights. Don’t forget to roast marshmallows for your s’mores to finish out the evening. Plus, pick up your limited-edition 2025 holiday ornament to remember this magical experience.

The Winter Walk of Lights is illuminating the gardens for its 14th season, bringing joy to as many as 110,000 visitors each year.

We went early this year. Before Thanksgiving. My daughter and I go annually. We love seeing the new decorations every year. This is the first year we stopped for s’more’s. It’s usually crazy. But we were the last time slot of the night and it was cold and very early in the season. Definitely worth it! We always get the hot chocolate. It’s our absolute favorite.

Thank you to all who dedicated creating and putting up such a beautiful light display and all the hard work to run it after hours. There were many teens working hard, being kind, attentive, respectful, keeping everything clean and well stocked, smiling, stoking the fire. It was a beautiful experience! Thank you!!
