The Bellevue Botanical Garden's light show runs from after Thanksgiving to the end of December, with hundreds of thousands of lights shaped into flowers, spiders, frogs, and leaping fish on a 40-minute stroller loop; the gentlest holiday lights on the Eastside.

💡 Tips
Tickets are about $8/person, free under 10, with timed entry bought online; it starts after dark at 5pm, and the first slot suits little kids best. It runs rain or shine, so bring raincoats.
