Discover an immersive Christmas experience at beautiful Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens. A dazzling bridge brings you into a winter wonderland featuring thousands of lights and activities for all ages throughout the 14-acre estate.

Fun, holiday-themed tours of Ima Hogg’s historic mansion feature live actors, theatrical effects, and Christmas decorations. You’ll find lots more to see and do, too:

• Watch a handcrafted model train circle the beautifully decorated 15-foot Christmas tree
• Go sledding down a faux-snow slide
• Toss around cotton snowballs with your friends
• Join in games for all ages, including a scavenger hunt, antler rings, and more
• Listen to live music from carolers, and make your own holiday tunes at music-bell stations
• And more! You can also take photos with Santa, who visits through Dec. 23.
• Plus, the Shop at Bayou Bend is open for browsing! Christmas Village takes place rain or shine. Single-occupant strollers are welcome, though many paths do have steps.
