Q:
Is there a special display beginning after Thanksgiving...for Christmas? Is so, when does it begin? After reading so many comments, I wish we would have used our tickets earlier in the spring or summer. Is there any chance we can extend the expiration date? Our tickets were a gift....and I di want to use them.
A:
Yes, they do decorate a number of trees inside. I do not believe that they decorate the gardens but am not sure. I am sure the hotel will also be decorated as well.

Tix are $9,50 for those 12 and under, $12.50 for adults and $11.50 for seniors 62 and older. Now that the roses are past peak, those prices are unjustified. I would suggest you get …

Tix are $9,50 for those 12 and under, $12.50 for adults and $11.50 for seniors 62 and older. Now that the roses are past peak, those prices are unjustified. I would suggest you get the Harrisburg Entertainment Book for Greater Harrisburg and use the BOGO coupon for the gardens. I think the book is on sale for less than $8 or get the SmartPhone version immediately. It also includes local restaurants.

It would depend on what those children enjoy. There’s a children’s garden with musical interactive toys and several other things that encourage imaginative play.. There are some really cool weeping trees that are fun to play under and climb on. My grandchildren are a little younger (oldest is 7) but love being there—We always have to make them leave. The butterfly garden is also great for kids. And there’s lots of room to just run around outside. We can easily spend a couple of hours there. That’s when the weather is nice . They sometimes have special children ‘s activities, which could also help.
