Reiman Gardens' first-ever outdoor holiday light show opens tonight (Dec. 3) and continues every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening (5 p.m. to close) through Jan. 2, with the exception of Christmas Day.

Winter Wonderscape features lit tunnels, "falling" stars, "campaniling" polar bears, laser lights and lighted sculptural forms children will enjoy including Peter Rabbit and penguins on skates and skis.

Tickets to Winter Wonderscape are date-specific, and visitors can arrive between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 (members $8, ages 2-12 years $5, free for children under 2 years) and online advance purchases are recommended. To help guests stay physically distanced, ticket sales are capped each day, with greater restrictions in place on Thursdays. Face coverings are required and most paths in the garden will be labeled for one-direction traffic.

To prepare for Winter Wonderscape, the gardens will close 30 minutes early, at 4 p.m., each evening of the exhibit.
