Baguio Botanical Garden turns ‘Christmassy’

BAGUIO CITY — The Baguio Botanical Garden is expected to attract more visitors as it transforms into a Christmas village at nighttime during the holiday season.

City information officer Aileen Refuerzo said the garden’s “Christmas Around the World” display will be opened to the public from 8 p.m. until midnight, following its inauguration at 6 p.m. Friday.

The displays also include a portrayal of the Nativity of Jesus Christ.

Aside from light displays, there will also be performances to complement the Christmas-themed garden such as busking and Christmas carols.

Starting Saturday, the park’s daily admission schedule will be from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. until midnight.

The park charges P5 for children and P10 for adults, regardless of residence or address but this is being proposed to be increased to P150 for tourists and P50 for adult residents.
