What is it?
First of all, let’s have the folks at the South Coast Botanic Garden themselves put it into words:
South Coast Botanic Garden’s GLOW (or Garden Lights & Ocean Waters) has been reimagined for its sophomore year. Guests can expect a better and brighter experience. Food, drinks, music and a transformative Garden featuring thousands of lights will have you hanging on the beach, drinking cocktails on the bayou and chasing waterfalls. And a stunning kelp forest will take your breath away and spark your interest in the beauty of the sea. This year’s exhibit also includes interactive experiences and themed nights (more on themed nights and other important information in our guide). And remember, Members get discounted tickets!
South Coast Botanic Garden
Essentially, GLOW is a colorful lights experience at the South Coast Botanical Garden in Rancho Palos Verdes Estates in the South Bay of Los Angeles. You’ll be able to walk through the open air garden and see the plants and trees lit up in a variety of colorful ways while also taking in the sounds of nature as well as curated music to accompany what you’re seeing.
It’s a good place to check out with your family, kids, loved ones, or even by yourself to take in the sights and sounds and freshen up the holiday season.
