Deets: Enchanted: Forest of Light is an interactive, nighttime experience unlike anything else in Los Angeles, featuring a one-mile walk through unique lighting experiences in some of the most beloved areas of Descanso Gardens.


The Walk
Enchanted is a one-mile, nighttime walk through distinct lighting displays. Some of the displays are interactive and invite participation, while some are merely there to be observed and enjoyed. Please allow at least 45 minutes to walk through the experience, and longer if you want to grab a bite to eat at one of two lounge areas. On average, we expect most people to enjoy Enchanted for an hour and a half.


The Food
Food and beverage options abound at Enchanted! Grab a quick bite, a hot chocolate or an adult beverage within the Enchanted experience. The Descanso Café will also offer casual café favorites. To dine at our restaurant, Maple, book an Enchanted: Forest of Light ticket with a Maple reservation. No outside food or beverages are allowed.

- Dinner with Santa: Dinner with Santa tickets are available on the following dates: Dec. 8, 9, 15 and16.


The Shopping
Any visit to Descanso isn’t complete without a stop in the gift shop, and Enchanted is no exception! Celebrate with Enchanted souvenir offerings and fun light-themed gifts, or do a little holiday shopping. The Gift Shop offers a selection of items for gardeners and nature lovers, year-round.


Hint For The Average Socialite: Tickets are available for purchase. Tickets have timed entry and must be purchased in advance.
