Masterfully crafted lanterns beckon you into our botanic gardens.

Food trucks and bars offer a variety of cultural tastes and drinks for purchase. An evening of dazzling color and magic awaits!The Moonlight Forest will delight children, families, and the young-at-heart with an opportunity to experience the garden in a new light. The magnificent lanterns reflect three themes; Nature, Children’s Garden, and Chinese Culture, all of which embrace the mission and communities of the Arboretum. Created by skilled artisans from China’s Sichuan province, the Arboretum has partnered with Tianyu Arts & Culture Inc. to celebrate the time-honored tradition of lantern art.
