GARDENFEST DINNER PACKAGES
Are you dining with 15–50 people? Check out our dinner options! For room rentals, refer to the selections farther down the page.
The GardenFest Dinner package includes a buffet dinner and admission into GardenFest of Lights.
BUFFET DINNER
Enjoy dinner in a restaurant-style setting with preset round tables with 8 chairs in the beautiful auditorium, featuring centerpieces, hand-crafted botanical ornaments and displays. Please note, seating times may not be adjusted for late arrivals due to scheduling. This is a semi-private, shared dining experience and is not suitable for meetings, speakers, presentations, music, or gift exchanges.
DINING PACKAGE
The dinner package is offered only on select nights during GardenFest and is a wonderful option for family, corporate, or association group holiday dinners.
Groups of 50 guests or more are encouraged to privately rent a room for their holiday party. Please ask a facility events coordinator for more information about private rentals, or refer to the information farther down the page.
EARLY BIRD TOUR
Reserve an afternoon outing before the evening crowds for your group, led by a trained Garden Guide. See more info about Private Group Tours here.
