Ethel M Chocolate Factory & Botanical Cactus Garden

(Fig. 01)
12/05/2012 Visit Notes: With two sets of company in town over the holidays this year, I think we ended up making three visits here. As you can see from (Fig. 01) there are many lit figurines in addition to all the cacti and trees. Truly appropriate, are the M&M’s in (Fig. 02) below. There is absolutely no way that any of my pictures (Fig. 03) do this place justice. It probably takes a good 20-30 minutes to walk all the paths that snake through the garden and take in the vast display of color created here. They even have 3-D glasses that turn many of the lights into “star” like projections. Besides the M&M’s, I think Santa and his sleigh (Fig. 04) was one of my favorites. It is truly a mesmerizing experience well worth the investment of a little bit of your time. Note: If you haven’t been yet, it ends on the evening of January 1st.
