I am visiting the Fort Worth Botanic Garden during the day. Will I have to leave the Garden before entering Christmas in the Garden in the evening?

Yes, to ensure that only ticket holders for Christmas in the Garden have entry to the evening event and parking, daytime visitors must exit the Garden and parking areas. During Christmas in the Garden evenings, the Garden will close at 4 p.m. and will reopen at 5 p.m. for ticketed guests only. Designated Christmas in the Garden parking areas will open by 4:30 p.m. once daytime vehicles have departed.
