My family and I came to see the Christmas lights. They are pretty but honestly They weren't overly impressive. It can get very expensive to view as well. However, I was way more impressed with the Chinese Lantern Festival from a few months ago. If they ever bring that back definitely check it out! The lanterns are really neat and at night they glow beautifully. The elephant teacup and saucer statue was such a cool site to behold as well. Overall the gardens are beautiful whenever you go and they make for a beautiful walk. I'm considering getting a seasons pass for me and my grandmother as she likes to visit. When there aren't too many people around it can give off a secret garden feel and I'd love to come on a warm spring day, find a secluded corner and read a book. Seems like a perfect setting to do that. I'm surprised I hadn't made it here before but now that I've come twice I'll definitely keep it on my list to visit more often!
