This holiday season, the Royal Botanical Gardens welcomes all to bask in the enchantment of Winter Wonders, an awe-inspiring celebration of lights, nature, and festive cheer.

Where will it be held?

Winter Wonders will be held at Hendrie Park which will see a huge transformation into a dazzling winter wonderland.

You’ll have to enter at the RBG Centre, located at 680 Plains Road West in Burlington.

What can I expect to see?

As you stroll through the scenic pathways of RBG’s winter landscape, enjoy the festive music that sets the mood while treating yourself to some holiday treats. And even boozy delights!

Feast your eyes on the rows of light structures that decorate the landscape and even speak through ‘the singing tree’ to see how the lights react.

There will also be roaming entertainers and fire pits to keep you warm.

The experience continues indoors as RBG’s Mediterranean Garden and Breezeway come alive with seasonal décor and vibrant plant displays.

According to the park, 2,500 plants are used to create a seasonal backdrop for seven different lines of model train tracks.

“Follow our trains on their journey past scale models of iconic Canadian landmarks constructed entirely from plant materials,” shares organizers.

After taking in the sights, visitors can explore the RBG Gift Shop, home to unique seasonal finds perfect for holiday gifts

Your ticket to Winter Wonders permits access to RBG Centre and Hendrie Park after 5 PM on selected dates. And of course, you’ll also get access to the indoor Mediterranean Garden, the botanical train exhibit and seasonal displays.
