edpaffjr.comWe ventured out on Christmas Eve in search of some holiday lights. We first stopped by the Denver Botanic Gardens on York Street for their Blossoms of Light. There over one million lights cover the winter plants. However, it didn’t seem worth the nearly $10 price of admisison. The ice sculptures were all melted messes, and the coolest part was seeing some of the more tropical plants in some of the greenhouses. I think we would have been better off visiting the zoo, which was cheaper and full of animals in addition to the lights.
Fortunately the entire night wasn’t a bust. We drove over to the Denver City and County Building to take some photos of the light display. Every time I’ve driven past the building since Thanksgiving, I wish that I had brought my camera along. Finally I was able to get some photos on a nice clear night. The lights look wonderful close up and even from blocks away. In addition there is a nativity scene and another display of elves of some sort. Plus Santa Claus is even on the roof! It’s a very bright display.
