SUMMARY:Garden Glow at Maymont
DESCRIPTION:Step into a glowing world of color at Garden Glow presented by Kroger — where light and a bit of magic take over Maymont after dark. Wander through mesmerizing light installations by international artists. \nAfter a moderately hilly hike through the woods\, enjoy a serene stroll through the Japanese Garden\, and fun and refreshments in the Glow Village with your whole crew. 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. Catch a trolley to the Japanese Garden if you prefer to skip the climb back up the rustic Woodland Trail. Opening Times Vary\, (Closed Mondays\, last entry at 9pm) \n\n\nNEW THIS YEAR: Glow Up!\nA Special Night to Support Maymont\, October 16\nMaymont supporters can enjoy a one-of-a-kind Garden Glow experience.
