What Our Guests Say

Vikky
Very nice
Markus Calls the South Home
A Beautiful Christmas Light Show Visiting the Christmas Garden is a wonderful experience every year. It offers a lovely contrast to the dark winter months and is a special way to get into the Christmas spirit.
Thomas Bierewitz
It's wonderful every time. We're going again this year. The Christmas Garden at Wilhelma is worth a visit.
Jürgen Wagner
It was a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back next year.

A beautifully created Christmas atmosphere. Because of the limited number of visitors per time slot, you can stop anywhere at your leisure and enjoy the views without being "rushed" along. It’s also a wonderful place to take photos, because—with a few exceptions—the displays are set up so that you don’t have to wait for all the other visitors to leave. There’s something new to see every time, which is another reason why an annual visit never gets boring.
Thomas Brandies
Awesome event!! Just fantastic. New installations every year. Spectacular.
Lorenz Ipsum
Great light show in the park. There is a large tour with many highlights and different stops. A few shops are open for drinks and snacks. A unique atmosphere for everyone.
