Get into the holiday spirit at Conservatory Aglow!

Join fellow Buckeyes in experiencing a winter wonderland of lights and experiences at Franklin Park Conservatory!

From captivating new light displays to returning favorites, like the life-size gingerbread house and the magical train exhibit, there’s something for everyone! You can partake in the lively dance celebration or play a tabletop game in a festive igloo, and there will be an ice skating rink, where guests can skate for free.

Special Entertainment and Appearances:

• 5–10 p.m. Ice skating – The rink is synthetic ice, so will operate regardless of the outside temperature. Guests can bring their own skates, or borrow some from the on-site inventory. The Ahlum & Arbor Ice Rink is limited in capacity to about 60 guests skating at a time and will operate on a first come, first served basis.
• 6–6:20 p.m. Ohio State Athletic Band Performance
• 7 p.m. – Imani & Halle – warm up inside the Conservatory, while you get in the holiday spirit with a musical performance by vocalist Imani accompanied by Halle on bass.
