FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS illuminates the night at Moody Gardens
Visitors can get into the holiday spirit with MoodyGardens 16th annual Festival of Lights, open now. One of the Gulf Coast’s largest holiday lighting events is back this year, complete with plenty of Christmas spirit infused with some jungle flair.
Festival of Lights will continue to shine throughout the holiday season everyday through January 7. Hours run from 6-11 p.m. Moody Gardens’ other attractions, including Ice Land: Ice Sculptures, Rainforest Holiday, are open throughout the day and evening as well. This year’s Ice Land: Ice Sculptures, Rainforest Holiday theme is an homage to Moody Garden’s Rainforest Pyramid. This unique attraction is essential to fulfilling the Moody Gardens conservation and education missions and is a tribute to the disappearing rainforests of the world.
