Enchanted: Forest of Light

Descanso Gardens turns into a glowing nighttime adventure for the 10th season of Enchanted: Forest of Light. Families follow a one-mile trail through the gardens, past light-filled oaks, the Ancient Forest and longtime favorites like Flower Power.

New this year: a laser light show on the Main Lawn that ends in a flurry of 'snow,' plus giant koi lanterns honoring the Japanese Garden's 60th anniversary. The path is stroller friendly, and evenings get chilly, so bring jackets.
