It’s that time of year again, the Botanical Garden once again lights itself up for the dazzling event called the Garden Glow. The event is very popular with families because there is something for kids of all ages to enjoy.
“Well, for one thing, it’s outside, you cantake your time, you don’t have to be at anyone thing, and it’s something different,”
library assistant Debb McDonald said. “You know, we all love the science center and the zoo, but the botanical gardens is underrated, actually.”
The event lasts from Nov. 15 through Jan. 3. Attendees can buy tickets on the Botanical Garden’s website. Adult tickets cost $24 and kid’s $12 without a membership, but there are special family nights where kids tickets are half price. Starting this year, they have a sensory night with sensory maps, performance modifications and quiet areas.
A staple attraction of this event includes fire pits and food stands, which some students believe can greatly enhance the experience.
“I think [the food and drinks] made it moreof a cozy feeling,” junior Mikaela Kavades said.
