Indoor gardens at Longwood Gardens are featured during the Winter Wonder winter season.

Longwood Gardens is offering a seasonal indoor escape this winter with “Winter Wonder,” a showcase that highlights colorful conservatory displays during the coldest months of the year. The experience runs Jan. 16 through March 22, 2026.

“Winter Wonder” centers on Longwood’s indoor gardens, where visitors can explore blooming flowers, tropical plants and large-scale horticultural displays under glass. The indoor focus allows guests to experience vibrant plant life while much of the outdoor landscape remains dormant.

Beginning Feb. 13 through March 8, the seasonal offering expands with “Garden Glow,” an evening experience held Friday through Sunday nights from 5 to 10 p.m. The after-hours event features illuminated displays throughout the gardens, offering a different way to experience the conservatories at night. 

One of the recurring features during "Garden Glow" is “SPARK,” an installation that releases thousands of small, biodegradable lights into the air on select nights.

Timed admission tickets are required. Longwood Gardens is open Wednesday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed on Tuesdays.
