Whether you’re out for a fun family night or a date with your favorite plus-one\, Garden Glow is the perfect way to light up your evening. \n\nStroll down the Woodland Trail to discover L’Envol\, a flock of illuminated birds caught mid-flight among the trees. Wander through the Japanese Garden\, where vibrant colors ripple from the treetops to the reflection in the pond. Loop back to the party in the Glow Village via the Woodland Trail. \nAllow about 90 minutes to soak it all in — the entire pathway is a little over a mile long.
