What: Experience the most magical time of year as Meijer Gardens transforms into a world of winter magic with the glow of 300,000 lights, more than 40 captivating international trees and displays, strolling carolers, horse-drawn carriage rides and more surprises than can fit under the tree. The gorgeous holiday displays will be even more extensive this year, with additions to the nativity scenes, the Railway Garden and the Diwali display in the Lena Meijer Conservatory.
