The garden park's Christmas Around the World and Holiday Traditions exhibit is now in its sixth year. Visitors can see 39 trees decked out with 125,000 lights and elaborate handmade ornaments. New to the exhibit this year are trees representing the cultures and traditions of Australia, Belize and the Republic of Slovakia. We also have special entertainment that night and offer carriage rides that go past our renowned Leonardo Da Vinci horse sculpture and past the luminary-lit gardens. Young visitors during the weekends will like the children's activities and appearances by gift bearers, who will mingle with guests and pass out candy.
Children can explore the arts and crafts of Poland, Korea, Switzerland and Finland.
They also can learn about Kwanzaa and Hanukkah through additional holiday displays. A Victorian tree, an environmental tree, a bird tree and a poinsettia tree also will enchant. If you stand under the display's traditional Canadian kissing bough, watch out. You just may get a smooch. Take I-96 west to Exit 38, which is East Beltline Avenue.
