It’s back! Highly anticipated, nationally nominated light display in Cbus now open

Are you ready for some holiday magic?

Conservatory Aglow, a light display and immersive experience in the gardens and interior of The Franklin Park Conservatory, is now officially open and ready for you and your family to experience the wonderland of lights.

There will be a life-sized gingerbread house, a holiday train display, thousands of twinkling lights, and even an ice rink this year.

The Conservatory Aglow is a big deal here in Columbus. Back in 2021, it was up for nomination by USA Today as “Best Botanical Garden Holiday Lights.” And for a good reason. The captivating displays have lights that are synchronized with holiday melodies, plus immersive light installations, outdoor games, dancing, and festive igloos with games inside of them.
