| Galaxy of Lights in Huntsville--Part 1 | |
Huntsville Botanical Garden's Galaxy of Lights is a magnificent mile-long holiday light extravaganza featuring larger-than-life animated light displays. Special exhibits include nursery rhymes, a holiday village, dinosaurs, wild animals, a magical twinkling icicle forest, garden scenes, a patriotic display featuring red, white, and blue 'fireworks'. New this year, an outrageous animated snowball fight where the losing snowman dissolves into a pile of snowflakes, and Santa soaring into the night sky in a hot air balloon. Now in it's 8th year, Galaxy is a family treat and tradition, and the biggest holiday attraction in North Alabama!
