Holidays at Myriad Botanical Gardens

Myriad & Bright

Experience the holiday lights at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City! With 15 acres of festive lighting, the Gardens are a perfect stop on your holiday adventures out in the city. Step inside the Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Conservatory and be surrounded by decorations, from the visitor lobby to the Bromeliad terrace, the lights over the skywalk, the traditional poinsettia tree and more. Marvel at large ornaments hung from the top of the conservatory. The newly renovated Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Conservatory will have an exterior a magical glow after sunset. Look for extended evening hours on Fridays and Saturdays.

Outside, explore the illuminated trees, lighted pathways, lanterns, plus don’t miss the nighttime picturesque Arena pathway tunnel as you head to the Paycom Center. The towering 26′ Christmas tree on the Devon Lawn returns in all its glory. Create lasting holiday memories as you walk through the Gardens with family, friends, and out-of-town guests.
