Frost: An Ice-Capped Garden Experience presented by KeyBank, at the Cleveland Botanical Garden is just around the corner! This year, expect even more from the winter spectacular, including an expanded outdoor lighting display and decorated glasshouse biomes. Frost will transform our indoor and outdoor gardens creating an immersive new world for the holiday season.
Frost will open to the public on Saturday, November 23 at 10 a.m. and will run through Sunday, January 5.
“Last year’s debut of Frost was spectacular, and seeing so many visitors enjoy this experience inspired us to make it even bigger and better in its second year,” says Ryan Sandy, exhibitions manager. “We are excited to bring this unique show to the next level this season with even more lights, new themed rooms and interactive elements, events, and activities. From family time to date nights, there will be something for everyone.”
New this year, in the glasshouses, visitors will meet Raine and Shine, spirits of the wet and dry seasons celebrating winter in other parts of the world. New displays and lights will guide people into the Spiny Desert of Madagascar and through the Costa Rica Cloud Forest, allowing them to meet plenty of new friends along the way.
In the outdoor gardens, an expanded holiday light trail will take visitors into more areas of the garden than even before, including the newly renovated Hershey Children’s Garden. Visitors will make their way through a dazzling moving light tunnel, our rainbow-lit rose garden, and other over-the-top light displays and photo-ops.
“As we continue to expand Frost each year, we are focused on giving visitors a one-of-a-kind experience that they won’t find anywhere else including plenty of unique plant and flower displays, all expertly crafted by our incredibly talented horticulture team,” said Sandy.
In addition to these exciting new elements, visitors can expect returning favorites, such as dozens of creative gingerbread houses and festive trees and wreaths decorated by our Affiliate Garden Clubs.
