Milner Christmas Magic
- Festivals
- December 17 - 22 (Tuesday To Sunday)
- Time: 5-8PM

Our woodland garden comes alive with this spectacular light exhibit, and remember to enhance your visit by purchasing a pair of Holiday Specs, holographic glasses that miraculously transform lights into magical figures. You'll even be able to find something for everyone on your holiday shopping list in our Gingerbread Gift Shop, and have the chance to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus themselves! Lastly, you can warm up with a selection of hot food and refreshments for sale in front of Milner House. Admission runs from 5:00pm–8:00pm with viewing until 8:30pm. Entry is by suggested donation of $8 per adult, $4 per child or $20 per household.
If Milner Christmas Magic isn't part of your annual holiday traditions yet, it's never too late to start a new one. Dress warm and grab your camera – you won’t want to miss it!
SPECIAL NOTES:
