Where can you go to see 1,000,000 Christmas lights, go ice skating, go snowless tubing, have a dinner theater, and hear live Christmas Carols? The magical Oregon Gardens of course. Nestled into a 10 acre forest within the 80-acre Oregon Garden, every year the Oregon Garden hosts one of the biggest holiday events in Oregon in this remote, charming spot: Christmas in the Garden.

Make sure and dress warm when you visit Christmas In The Garden. There will be fire pits to warm yourself up, but to see the lights you'll be walking through the Rediscovery Forest and you'll be thankful to be wearing a warm hat, gloves, and thick coat.
