Hours
Hudson Holidays runs Nov 27 2026 to Jan 3 2027, 5 to 9 pm, on show nights only: no show Nov 30, Dec 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 25 or Jan 1. Dec 24 closes at 7 pm. Tickets are not timed: come any time during event hours on your reserved day. No re-entry.
“We offer a designated Sensory-Friendly Night on Dec. 2” “This night is intended to be calmer for those with sensory sensitivities, autism, PTSD, & more, lower music volume, and capped attendance.” “Please note that this is not a low-sensory event.”
“Use the Denver Seminary entrance (W. Weaver Ave.) to enter for ADA Parking or Drop-Off.” “The entrances, trails, exits, and restrooms are ADA accessible.”
The Sensory-Friendly Night is Wed Dec 2, 5 to 9 pm. The Gardens turns the music down and caps the crowd, but doesn't say the lights change, and is upfront that it's “not a low-sensory event.” Pack headphones and sunglasses.
There's no re-entry, so a trip back to the car ends the night. The walk through the gardens is about 0.65 miles.
Presale any-day tickets Nov 6 to 8: adults $15, seniors $15, youth 3 to 12 $10. Dated tickets from Nov 9: adults $20, seniors $18, youth $15. Any-day tickets after presale: adults $25, seniors $20 to $23, youth $20. 2 and under free.
Date changes cost $10 per order. Tickets are final and are not refunded for weather unless the event is cancelled.
Parking is free at Hudson Gardens and in the overflow lot at Arapahoe Community College. Attendants direct you to accessible spots; there is a drop-off area at the entrance if the lot is full.
The route is a stroll through the gardens of about 0.65 miles.
No outside food or drinks. Nixon's Coffee House is in the Candy Cane Exhibit Area; s'mores kits are sold in the Pavilion and online.
