Grab a cup of hot chocolate, turn on some Christmas music, and “stroll” through my gallery of photos from Bellingrath Gardens in Alabama. Information on how you can visit Bellingrath Gardens for its 3 million lights display is at the bottom of this post. Enjoy.

Blurred Christmas lights in the shape of a heart
These lights were actually balls of lights hanging in a tree. It wasn’t apparent that they were forming the shape of a heart until I took the picture intentionally out of focus.

Tips to Know Before You Go

Bottomline: Definitely go see the lights. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of Christmas lights, and I have never before seen a display quite this extensive. Be aware that is very extensive…expect to walk a lot and have your head spin with how many lights there are. It was a tad bit overwhelming at times; I was definitely tired at the end of it. I didn’t do the additional tour of the Bellingrath Home, so I don’t know what it’s like, but I imagine most people would be too tired to do the lights show and the home tour.

    What’s nearby: Um…not much. There are a few down-home, southern, mom and pop restaurants. And then some abandoned shacks. My friend and I ended up getting dinner in Mobile, which is about 30 minutes away.
