Join us on this seasonal escape into a winter wonderland to view the holiday light show at the Janesville Rotary Botanical Gardens. The conservancy has 20 acres of botanical displays for the show, and more than 750,000 lights will greet visitors to the self-guided tours. We’ll begin our late afternoon journey with dinner at The Italian House in Janesville (www.italianhousejanesville.com/).
Following dinner, we’ll board the bus for a short ride to the gardens. We will walk on well-lit pebble pathways, and there will be an opportunity to warm up during your walk at the concession building, where you can purchase hot coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider, and sugar cookies for an evening snack. When our senses are filled from the magical atmosphere, we can relax on the return bus ride to Madison.
