Rainbow with the pot of gold
Our favorite is the Icicle Forest! (I believe that’s what its called) It’s so pretty!!! The “snow ” is fun too!
We have never been but I would be taking my husband and two year old!!!
I like the tin soldier display and the dinosaur. My daughter loves the icicles where it snows on walking nights.
I would love to take my husband and two kids.
We love the icicles and snow!
My favorite is the rainbow and 12 days of Christmas as you enter
The dangling lights, snow, and rainbow
I love the nursery rhyme section.
The nursery rhyme section.
The dinosaurs!
It doesn’t snow much here so my favorite has always been the lights that look like snow. My son, Brayden, is 6 and he loves the dinosaurs and storybook characters.
Twelve days of Christmas.
My son loved the dinosaurs the most last year. He kept screaming diplodocus ahhhh!
I would take my 87 year old mother. I can’t really afford the car pass. We are not doing Christmas gifts this year, so this would be a nice way to celebrate the season. When I have gone in past years, I have enjoyed the snowman fighting with snow balls, as well as many other displays. Hard to pick a favorite.
We’ve never been, but I would LOVE to take my boys!
We love seeing the 12 days of Christmas display at the entrance!
We try to go on walking nights (which didn’t happen this year) My favorite is the area where all the white lights are dangling done like a curtain or wall if lights. My kiddos love the castle and the dino
The Icicle Forest-but there are so many pretty ones!
We have only been once before, but I remember the tunnel of lights was very cool. I’d bring my husband and 4 kids. Thank you!
Our family has never been! Would love to go! 😊
Never been! Would love to take my family!
We love the twelve days of Christmas!
I have never been but would like to go with my 5 year old daughter. $25 a little too expensive for a single mom. 🙂
Congrats Erica – you’re one of our winners! Please check your email to claim your pass.
My kids love picking out the light displays from “The 12 Days of Christmas” at the beginning of the trail. We always sing “5 golden rings” extra loud!!
We have never been able to go due to finances. I am sure my family especially the 6 year old would love to see the lights so we could have the experience and memory as a family.
Congrats Zelika – you are one of our winners! Please check your email to claim your pass.
Thank you so much Stephanie. They will be so excited to hear the news tomorrow!!! Season’s Greetings everyone
Twelve Days of Christmas
I have personally never been before, but my mother really talks it up as being a spectacular sight to see. I would just like to say that if i were to able to take her to this event free of charge it would be her entire Christmas, my mother is developmentally disabled and survives on an income of only disability, so you see she rarely can be
afforded an opportunity such as this, something she loves so dear, but is always out
of reach.
My family has never been! My husband and 2 children would be my +3!
My favorite is the Rainbow, would love to go this year!
We have never been would love to find a favorite if we won!
I’ve never been! I would love to take a friend who just recently went through a bad break-up. I’m trying to convince them there’s still a little magic left in this world if you just know where to look!
I have been (driving and walking through). I’m gonna say the icicle tunnel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We’ve never been before but I would bring my husband, six-year-old son, two-year-old daughter, mother-in-law, and father-in-law!
I love the snowflakes curtain
I love the snowflakes curtain
I have never been to the Galaxy of Lights, but would love to go! My 1 year old is really into light displays, so this would be a great first for both of us.

I like the icicle tunnel the best!
We love to see all the nursery rhymes and the manger scene!
I love the fact that the Botanical Gardens always includes space inspired light displays which capture Huntsville’s legacy in our nation’s space history!
My family loves the 12 Days of Christmas at the entrance!
We love the dolphins!
I haven’t been yet! I would take my love with me and our niece!
My favorite is either the Icicle Forest or Santa in the Helicopter. I would take my 4 year old granddaughter. I’m sure she would recognize and say all the Nursery Rhymes.
I would love to take my husband and 2 sons! We never been before due to being new in the area but heard it’s simply stunning
The dinosaur.
To be honest my favorite is all of them! Sooo very beautiful.. I have only been once and would love to take my kiddos this year…
