Fernwood Lights 2025 Ticket Prices and Dates

On November 1, I visited Fernwood for the first time and noticed that they were actively setting up lit trees and Christmas lights along the main path. After I looked it up, I realized this is a whole event that I didn’t know about called Lights at Fernwood.

It’s a mile-long loop that you walk at night as a Christmas lights season experience. You buy tickets in one-hour increments ahead of time, and then you can go enjoy the amazingly lit paths through the gardens.

It seems like they put a ton of effort into this display, because when I was there, I saw several people working on assembling the lights, wrapping archways, setting up artificial trees that are lit, and wrapping trees that can support the lights without any damage to the trees themselves. From the pictures I’ve seen in previous years, it looks like a really beautiful experience.

You can get tickets from Fernwood Botanical Garden’s website. They list them as $14 per adult who is not a member, but most of the days are labeled as peak days where the tickets cost $16 per adult. Children’s tickets are $5 on off days and $8 on peak days. There’s a reduced cost for people who are members, and kids under two years old are free.

Most of the available days are Thursday through Sunday, but around Christmas they also open some midweek nights. Each evening has a few different entry times, and you can buy your ticket for a specific one-hour slot all the way up until that time, as long as spots are available.

The first night of the show is November 28, 2025, and the final night is January 2, 2026.
