FROST in the CLE

While we are proud partners of Holden Forests & Gardens, all opinions in this article are our own.

FROST: An Ice-Capped Garden Experience is going on now, select dates through December 31, 2023. Fun for the entire family, this exhibit brings immersive holiday displays filled with warmth and cheer. You will definitely find this is one of the coolest places to be in Cleveland this December! Be sure to also explore around the cultural University Circle neighborhood while you’re in town!

Imagine over 500 poinsettias, beautiful lighting, Christmas trees and thousands of twinkling lights. Be sure to also go into the Glasshouses at night, Thursday-Saturday evenings for some extra special moments in nature after dark. Vote for the best Gingerbread house amongst three categories. Let your inner child out by playing an icy xylophone. You can’t miss walking (or dancing) through the frozen arches and mirror tunnel in the Realm of the Winter Spirit!

Be sure to check out the Glasshouse at the Cleveland Botanical Garden for FROST
Open now through December 31
