Holiday in The Gardens transforms Moody Gardens into a winter wonderland for guests of all ages.
Walk a mile long Holiday Lights trail of glowing light displays, step inside a frigid tent full of hand carved ice sculptures at ICE LAND, lace up for ice skating, settle in for a live holiday show, and gather around festive dining experiences built for the season, and much more!
Every attraction sits steps from the next, so a single visit can fill an afternoon or an entire getaway.
Held annually from late November through early January, the festival pairs the warmth of a Texas resort with the feel of a snowy December night. Buy a single attraction, bundle a few with a Value Pass, or turn the trip into an overnight stay at Moody Gardens Hotel.
Step into a nine degree tent of hand carved ice, reimagined this year as a tropical island holiday. Ride the Giant Ice Slide and warm up at Shiver's Ice Bar.
