Experience the Magic of FROST at the Cleveland Botanical Garden
Get ready to step into a winter wonderland like no other! FROST at the Cleveland Botanical Garden, presented by KeyBank, returns on Saturday, November 23rd, and this year, it promises to be even more enchanting.
We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek of this year's event, and let me tell you—it’s a showstopper. With dazzling new features, timeless traditions, and activities for all ages, FROST is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season.
Discover the Legend of Frost
One of the highlights of our visit was exploring the glasshouse biomes, which have been beautifully decorated with holiday cheer. As we wandered through the lush indoor gardens, my kids were captivated by the legend of Frost and loved spotting the fun new characters hidden throughout. This storytelling element added a magical layer to our adventure and kept the kids engaged and curious.
The Legend of Frost weaves an enchanting tale of rare winter magic. This year, portals between the realms of the Spirits of Frost, Storms, and Light—Verglas, Raine, and Shine—have opened, filling the glasshouse and gardens with seasonal wonder.
As you wander through the displays, look closely for signs of each spirit’s influence. From dazzling frost patterns to glowing lights and shimmering snow, each detail immerses you in the story. The experience sparks imagination and a sense of awe for visitors of all ages.
My kids especially loved the Winter Spirit Room, where you can discover adorable botanical-inspired friends like polar bears, foxes, and penguins. This whimsical space is a highlight of FROST, blending creativity and fun. Little ones will also love designing their own glowing masterpieces on a giant lite-brite.
As you explore the decorated glasshouse biomes, the legend of Frost comes to life through the beautiful botany, breathtaking light displays, and seasonal soundscapes. It’s an interactive and enchanting experience that adds a touch of wonder to the holiday season.
A Stunning Outdoor Light Display
The expanded outdoor lighting display is nothing short of breathtaking. Twinkling lights illuminate the pathways and trees, transforming the garden into a glowing paradise. As if the scene wasn’t magical enough, snowflakes began to fall during our visit, making us feel like we had stepped inside a living snow globe. For us, it was a moment straight out of a holiday movie!
Marvel at the Gingerbread Houses
No FROST experience would be complete without admiring the incredible gingerbread houses. This year’s creations are next level, with intricate designs and whimsical touches. My kids had so much fun picking their favorites and casting their votes. Whether it’s a cozy candy cabin, a quick stop in Whoville, or an elaborate confectionery castle, there’s something to inspire every visitor’s imagination.
