Garden of d’Lights at Ruth Bancroft Garden is a sweet outdoor activity full of twinkly magic — and a wonderful way to spend an evening when it gets dark so early. Affiliate links below.
Tickets go on sale October 21, 2024, for Garden of d’Lights running from November 22 through January 11, 2025.
Ruth Bancroft Garden, a 3-acre facility in Walnut Creek, is lighting up its outdoor gardens with thousands of lights and lasers to create a beautiful nighttime stroll for guests. Succulents, cacti, and trees will become colorful sculptures. I think this event is the ideal way to introduce children to the magic of a holiday light show without overstimulating them.
The event will run from November 22, 2024, to January 11, 2025, on most Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Check the schedule for specific dates as it there are more dates in December than in November.

- Admission Group 1: Enter from 5:30 pm – 6 pm
- Admission Group 2: Enter from 6:30 pm – 7 pm
- Admission Group 3: Enter from 7:30 pm – 8 pm
