A 12-foot-tall poinsettia tree featuring 160 vibrant poinsettias, visits with Santa, joyous holiday music and fun crafts promise to create a memorable experience for families who visit Hershey Gardens during the month of December.
With the opening of the Milton & Catherine Conservatory earlier this year, guests also can visit the year-round, indoor tropical Butterfly Atrium and see beautiful butterflies from around the world. In addition to being decorated with poinsettias, the Butterfly Atrium will feature a holiday tree decorated with fruit “ornaments” on which the butterflies can feast. Giant Madagascar hissing cockroaches also will be celebrating the holidays with a miniature holiday scene, including a gingerbread house.
Daily in December, a 12-foot tall poinsettia tree, on display in the conservatory, provides the perfect holiday photo op. Outside in front of Swan Lake, a lit, 17-foot concolor fir tree offers another scenic backdrop for picture taking.
Hershey Gardens is open daily in December (except Dec. 25) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with holiday activities occurring on the following dates:
Saturday, December 3 and 10, 2016
