Dazzling Nights at Leu Gardens

Dazzling Nights is a cutting-edge event filled with decorative art installations, live entertainment, and captivating play areas. Let’s take a closer look at the various attractions and experiences waiting for you at this year’s Dazzling Nights holiday celebration:

Glowing Garden

One of my personal highlights from the Dazzling Nights event, Glowing Garden features a wooded pathway. Filled with beautiful plants and natural scenery, Glowing Garden also uses lighted flower figures to create a stunning and delightful atmosphere.

Joyful Journey

Take a leisurely stroll under twinkling lights and larger-than-life snowflakes in Joyful Journey! It’s a beautiful place for a quiet moment with your date or a festive selfie.

Down the Chimney

Kids of all ages will enjoy Down the Chimney, an inflatable playground featuring bouncy surfaces and steep slides. I had a great time jumping around and racing down these oversized chimney chutes!

Forest of Peace

Take a moment for self-reflection and contemplation among these massive, lighted trees and soft, holiday music. In the Forest of Peace, you’ll find a serene pathway to your next winter adventure!

The Crystal Kingdom

Located at the end of the Forest of Peace, the Crystal Kingdom is full of magnificent (and huge) icy crystals. You’ll also find a special photo opportunity with the beautiful Ice Queen and her Rock Monster.

Brilliance Laser Show

Occurring every half hour, Brilliance Laser Show includes a breathtaking visual display as well as a special selection of holiday music – performed by live singers!

Peppermint Pass

After enjoying Brilliance Laser Show, head to Peppermint Pass. This 70′ pathway is themed after a classic Christmas candy cane.

Snow & Glow

Frolic in the Florida snoap in this specially designed play area! Kids and adults can confidently enjoy snoap flurries and photo opportunities on slip-resistant flooring.

Sparkling Stars

Get lost in a field of shining stars in this special piece of the Dazzling Nights event.

Ring of Radiance

On the Ring of Radiance, you’ll find dancing lights, pumping music, and lots of energy.

Fabulous Flurries

One of the most unique and unexpected pieces of this event, Fabulous Flurries is an indoor play area complete with fake, confetti-like snow and soft snowballs. Take off your shoes and enjoy making snow angels, orchestrating snowball fights and more – you don’t even need to bundle up first!

Wonderous Woods

I’ve saved the best for last! While Wondrous Woods uses a fairly simple concept (laser Christmas lights pointed at large and small plants), the effect created a beautiful wonderland of shining trees and sparkling bushes. This was, by far, my favorite piece of the Dazzling Nights event.

Freaky Thoughts: Dazzling Nights

Dazzling Nights is a unique, Christmas-themed festival that combines natural scenery with manmade displays. There’s a wide variety of live entertainment and family-friendly activities, making sure that there’s something for everyone – no matter their age or preferences. And, as a walkthrough event, families and friends can take their time enjoying the various attractions. I definitely recommend Dazzling Nights to anyone looking for a memorable way to celebrate the holidays and the rest of their winter vacation!
