Shade and Amazing Attractions

From early spring when the tulips and cherry blossom trees bloom and through summer with the verdant grass, the Pecan Grove offers shade and amazing attractions.

Guests take lots of photos of the lush green lawn surrounded by beautiful seasonal color.

Spring ushers in a stunning sight as over 100 blooming Japanese Cherry Trees surround the Pecan Grove. In late summer, the Pecan Grove closes and in transformed into the Christmas Village, which opens in early November each year. Inspired by European Christmas Markets, the village is comprised of charming shops and facades representing a quaint European hamlet, a 23-foot-tall German-built Christmas Pyramid, and Santa’s house and sleigh.
