This is a walk-through holiday light experience. Flamingo Gardens is a 98-year-old attraction with some rustic paths, and the event is hosted on approximately 10 acres. Please stay on the lit pathways to enjoy the full experience. Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs for the musical performances on the Wray Lawn. Concessions and holiday treats will be available for purchase; no outside food or drink is allowed.
Pets are not permitted. Because Flamingo Gardens is a wildlife sanctuary with injured birds and animals, only service animals individually trained to provide specific work or tasks for the legally disabled protected by the ADA are allowed entrance. Any other animals that provide only comfort or emotional support for their owners are not permitted, including, but not limited to, companion animals, emotional support animals, and therapy dogs.
