Kick off the season at the President’s Circle and Guild premier holiday event!

This year’s festive evening will feature seasonal activities, entertainment, and dinner. Plus, families are invited to preview Wonderland Express, the Garden’s 10,000-square-foot indoor exhibition of miniature trains winding over bridges, under trestles, past waterfalls, and through 80 mini-replicas of Chicago's favorite landmarks, before it opens to the public.

The Tree Lighting Ceremony will be held outside, so please dress for the weather.

Online reservations must be made by November 20, 2009. For more information about this event or to place your reservation over the phone, please call the hotline at (847) 835-6925.
