Wonderland is Garvan’s Winter Art Installation

Stop in the Chipmonk Cafe for a treat while visiting the Garden.

Winter is a time for families gathering and celebrating the joys of the past year—and Garvan Gardens has a new daytime art installation that will be perfect for continuing these traditions. Wonderland is an art installation in the Gardens focusing on nine main areas with different themes in each space. 

“Due to the lingering effects of Covid 19, we want to ensure the safety and health of all of our guests, and are offering a new winter garden experience,” says Executive Director, Bob Bledsoe. 

Without giving all of the magic away, guests will find that many of the spaces will feature larger-than-life lanterns capturing the wonder of nature and various sea creatures with holiday flair, an all-new iridescent jewel tree, and many guests’ past favorites—such as the sea dragon, mushrooms, and yeti with a new overlay twist. The pavilion snow globe will also return, as well as James the Train. 

Wonderland begins Sat., Nov. 20, and will run until Dec. 31, and will include weekly concerts, tea parties, a daily scavenger hunt, and various winter and holiday-themed workshops throughout the season. 

Tickets: Adults $15, children ages 4-12 $5, children 3 and under free, dogs $5. Online tickets may be available at a later date. Admission is free to members with a current membership card and photo ID. Open daily-10 AM-6 PM. The last Admission sold at 5:30 PM. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Please check www.garvangardens.org regularly for the full calendar offerings or to purchase a membership.
