The holiday season always offers so many different activities and events, one that stands out is the Filoli Historic House & Garden. Filoli Gardens is a historic estate located in Woodside. With its 654 acres of land, including the 16-acre gardens, this location hosts special viewings for the holidays. Starting November 22nd, the Filoli Gardens offers three main holiday experiences: the Gilded, the Thistlewick and the Holiday Lights experience.

When attending the Holiday Lights experience, visitors pay $35-$50. The Filoli Gardens Holiday Lights experience stands out for its enchanting atmosphere. Entering the garden, you are immediately met with beautifully illuminated pathways, glowing trees, and displays that create a storybook-like setting.

The lighting design is gorgeous but not too much, allowing guests to appreciate the natural beauty of the estate, enhanced by holiday decor. The photos themselves do not do the experience justice.

What makes Filoli especially worth visiting is the overall ambiance. Unlike many crowded holiday light events, the estate provides a spacious, calm environment where guests can take their time. Filoli Gardens offers the perfect experiences for groups of friends and family. Specifically, the Holiday Lights experience. Walking through a garden filled with beautiful Christmas lights throughout the estate feels almost magical.

For anyone looking for a night to fill with friends and a good time, the Filoli Gardens is the perfect place to go.
