Bright Nights at Lauritzen Gardens is one of our favorite holiday traditions. Its back and even better this year with the addition of Sofia’s Play Garden! As always, it includes the conservatory, floral hall and patio with games, fire pits and Smore’s. Other food and drinks (including bars with beer, wine and cocktails) are also available for purchase and parking is free. Santa makes an appearance on select nights so be sure to check the website if you have little ones.

Also on display is TROLLS: Save the Humans outdoor exhibit. Each of the six trolls are crafted from reclaimed wood and are on a mission to help us rediscover our connection to nature.

The event runs from 4 to 9 PM through January 4th. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time on Lauritzen’s website: Lauritzen Gardens – Omaha Botanical Center
