Make unforgettable memories this holiday season at The Morton Arboretum!
Bring your family to visit with St. Nick and enjoy an elegant, holiday-themed buffet dinner in the Arbor Room. After supper, head to the historic Founder’s Room, where all children will have the opportunity to share their wish list with Santa in front of a cozy, crackling fire.
Each dinner guest will receive a ticket for Illumination that can be used on any date. The Arboretum’s reimagined annual holiday exhibition features four new immersive light and sound installations and four colorful animal sculptures from The Morton Arboretum’s current sculpture exhibition, Vivid Creatures, lit up for the holidays and transformed for the Illumination experience.
