Garden d’Lights at Bellevue Botanical Garden
Bellevue Botanical Garden’s annual light show, Garden d’Lights, is stunning, affordable and a family favorite. Over half a million sparkling lights are twisted — by dedicated volunteers — into fanciful flowers, critter shapes and even waterfalls. Past years’ favorites have included Charlotte, Willie the Slug and the smoking dragon. Download a critter map (available on the website mid-November) before your visit if you like.
