Inside of the Conservatory, more than 500,000 blue and white twinkling lights, whirling fountain features, thousands of seasonal plants, and decorated trees will be on display. Outside, an Italian-style theatre has been expanded from its original fountains to 750 jets, which create a water curtain for the fountain show. The Italian Water Garden will also be illuminated by a 20-foot tree. Tickets are required and guests will be asked to choose the time they wish to see the show.
