Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens will take on a different feel this winter when the South Street landmark opens its doors for evening visits. The “Gardens After Dark” series returns on Friday nights from Dec. 5 through Jan. 2, giving people a chance to walk through the mosaics under a wash of colorful lights.
The entire outdoor space will be open, including the narrow passageways and sculptural walls that look completely different at night. Guests also can head into the mosaicked basement, a part of the site that isn’t available on most daytime tours. The experience is self-guided, so visitors can explore at their own pace.
