Frost: An Ice-Capped Garden Experience opens November 23

Year two of northeast Ohio’s most exciting winter show, Frost: An Ice-Capped Garden Experience, at the Cleveland Botanical Garden is just around the corner!  This year, expect even more from this winter spectacular, including an expanded outdoor lighting display and decorated glasshouse biomes.  Frost will transform the indoor and outdoor gardens creating an immersive new world for the holiday season. 

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, a rainbow-lit rose garden, and other over-the-top light displays and photo-ops. 

In addition to these exciting new elements, visitors can expect returning favorites, such as dozens of creative gingerbread houses and festive trees and wreaths. 

Wintery activities, interactive displays, an oversized slide, storybook trail and marshmallow roasting in the evenings are just the beginning. Kids of all ages will be immersed in the joy and wonder of the winter season! 

Frost will open to the public November 23–January 5.  Advance online ticket purchase is required. Prices vary by day of the week and entry time.  Tickets now on sale at holdenfg.org.
