Take a breathtaking stroll through the gardens and trails of Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center which are lit by thousands of all-new glowing luminarias this year. Luminations gives the whole family a fun way to enjoy some winter magic in a natural outdoor Hill Country setting, winding nearly two miles through the Texas Arboretum’s big oaks, illuminating the forts of Fortlandia. Luminations runs through January 6, 2024, with entry from 5:45 pm – 9 pm.  (Please note: Luminations is closed on Dec. 24, 25, 31, and Jan. 1)
