Frost Returns to Cleveland Botanical Gardens with Dazzling Holiday Display

CLEVELAND, OHIO — The Cleveland Botanical Gardens has once again transformed into a winter wonderland with the return of Frost, presented by KeyBank. Running until January 5, the event promises to immerse visitors in a festive world of lights, interactive displays, and holiday cheer.

The indoor and outdoor gardens are adorned with spectacular features, including a tunnel of flowers, larger-than-life animal sculptures, and intricately decorated gingerbread houses. With over 40 uniquely themed trees and wreaths on display, guests are encouraged to vote for their favorites. The Alice in Wonderland-themed wreath and a fairy-inspired wishing tree stand out as highlights of this year’s showcase.

Frost offers a variety of activities for visitors of all ages. Families can enjoy craft stations, holiday-themed activities, and endless opportunities for festive photos. “It’s magical to see how each tree and wreath tells its own story,” shared a visitor who praised the Nutcracker-themed tree and the interactive fairy wish tree.

Advance tickets are required for entry, which can be purchased on the Cleveland Botanical Gardens website. The event is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Special performances are set to add an extra layer of holiday magic. On Fridays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., visitors can enjoy performances by JB Cirque artists. Saturdays feature live music, while the Cleveland Institute of Music will perform on Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m.
