The exhibition gets curiouser and curiouser with art so surreal you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Follow our White Rabbit and other Wonderland characters through the Garden, where you’ll encounter scenes from the story that give you whimsically wild new perspectives, like you’re shrinking and growing along with Alice! You’ll find larger than life mushrooms, a chess board spread out across the lawn, a shimmering looking-glass, and more. Inside the Haupt Conservatory, discover thousands of technicolor flowers in imaginative horticultural displays that highlight the garden designs of the Victorian era. Continue to dive into Alice’s world in the Library—you’ll learn about the novel’s historical context and modern adaptations, including the stories of mind-altering plants, which were popular in the Victoria era and continue to be the subjects of cutting-edge scientific research today.
You’ll go mad over our programs, including a scavenger hunt led by the Cheshire Cat, an opening Garden Party Weekend (with tea, of course!), a Fantastic Fungi Weekend in the fall, Alice dress-up, and more programming for families. Of course, our Wonderland will have food so good it’s almost nonsensical! Enjoy the Unbirthday Snack Truck with crumpet ice cream sandwiches, the Rose Court with refreshments inspired by the Queen of Hearts, and afternoon tea parties at the Hudson Garden Grill.
You’d be absurd to miss Wonderland Nights for adults 21 and over, where you can unwind with a cocktail and enjoy the exhibition after dark—when our installations will be especially dazzling.
We’re all quite mad here, you’ll fit right in!
