For 12 nights this season Mobile Botanical Gardens turns into a lit holiday garden. Guests stroll the illuminated paths, hear live music, take a picture with Santa and roast marshmallows for s'mores around an open fire. The first night on the Gardens' calendar is Saturday, November 28, from 5 to 8 PM.
Before you go
- Buy timed tickets on the Festive Nights event page.
- Go to Mobile Botanical Gardens at 5151 Museum Drive in Mobile after 5 PM.
- Bring a jacket for the open-air walk.
- Find Santa and the fire pit for s'mores.
What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-11-11.
Prices are from the Gardens' ticket page. The total is two adults and two youth at nonmember prices.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
The garden's page says 12 nights, but its calendar lists only the first one, November 28. Check the ticket page for the other dates.
Each ticket carries a service fee on top of the price.
