Light up your holidays at Heathcote’s Garden of Lights

Heathcote Botanical Gardens’ annual Garden of lights 2024 runs until January 4, 2025! To purchase tickets, click here. The Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for admission, and the guests are allowed to enter until 8:30 pm.

With your paid admission, you are treated to not just the five acres of handcrafted light displays. Santa is on site for you to chat with and get that Holiday photo. There are also photo ops galore scattered about the Garden of Lights design. Heathcote the Bear will be on hand, and you can sit with the giant eight-foot bear for that holiday WOW image. And if you’ve visited the Garden of Lights before, you’ll be surprised to find out where Heathcote the Bear will be hanging out this year!

Check out the holiday picture frame where the whole family can be illuminated for that perfect holiday image. And if that isn’t enough, there are so many options for cute photos through the gardens.

Don’t forget to meander over to Santa’s workshop and see the elves creating G top, courtesy of the Treasure Coast woodturners and enjoy the wonderful music each night courtesy most nights by local musicians.

While wandering the Garden of Lights, don’t forget to do the scavenger hunt. Children receive a prize from the gift shop if they find all the creatures! Heathcote Garden of Lights is an evening of fun for the whole family. In addition, there are food trucks on site each evening, so plan to grab dinner while you are here.

Bonner Bar will be onsite several nights during the Garden of Lights to quench your adult beverage needs, and if you dare to consume caffeine after dark, there will be a coffee truck on hand, too!
