About the Experience
What is the Lightscape experience?
Visitors to Lightscape make their way along a winding trail through BBG’s landscape, awash in artistic lighting design. Along the way, they’ll encounter monumental lighted sculptures, colorful effects on BBG’s trees, architecture, and water features, and site-specific music and sound.
The trail begins at the Visitor Center and ends at 150 Eastern Parkway. Ticket times are staggered so groups can comfortably stroll the trail with family and friends.

Show larger mapCan I explore the Garden on my own?
Only the trail itself is open to evening visitors. There are points along the trail where visitors can spread out, grab a treat or hot drink, or stop for great photo ops.
Is it accessible to individuals with disabilities?
The trail paths are wheelchair accessible. There are some lighting sequences that have flashing lights contained within them; however, there is no strobe lighting. Individuals who will be accompanied by personal care assistants may contact customer service for accommodation.
If I visit during the day, can I stay into the evening?
No, the Garden will close each day at 3:30 p.m. during the run of this event. Only individuals with Lightscape tickets will be admitted in the evenings.
How late does it run?
The last entry time for Lightscape most nights is 8:15 p.m. and the show closes nightly at 9 p.m.
Ticket Information
How do I get tickets?
Showclix is the Garden’s official ticket provider.
Can I purchase a ticket by phone?
Visitors who are unable to use the online ticketing module can reserve tickets by calling ShowClix between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at 866-220-4001.
How do I get my member discount?
Sign in to the ticketing site as a member, just as you do for admission tickets. Members may also purchase full-price tickets for guests beyond the number included in their membership level.
If my plans change, can I transfer my ticket to another date?
You may exchange live tickets by contacting Showclix in advance of your visit at 866-220-4001 or by chat at support.showclix.com ($10 exchange fee per order). Customer support is available 10 a.m.–6 p.m. (Sundays by chat only); after hours you may leave a message or submit a contact form. There are no refunds; tickets for past dates may not be exchanged.
What happens if the weather turns bad after we buy tickets?
Lightscape takes place in all weather, but, of course, if a weather event presents a risk to safety, the Garden may need to cancel an evening. If so, you will be notified about the cancellation and the rebooking process via email and/or SMS before 2 p.m. the day of your visit.
Dining: Trail Fare & Lightscape Lodge
Are there places to eat?
Concessions selling hot drinks and light fare are available along the route, and more substantial meals can be found at the Lightscape Canteen. Please have your credit card ready, as most are cashless concessions. Feel free to browse the menus and locations in advance of your visit. Outside food and drink are not permitted.
On select evenings in December, join us for a winter-inspired, three-course prix fixe dinner at Lightscape Lodge inside the Garden’s Lillian and Amy Goldman Atrium. Reservations are encouraged and separate Lightscape tickets are required to hold your spot. Walk-ins will be welcomed if space permits.

This is an outdoor event, so please come prepared for the elements by wearing appropriate footwear and dressing warmly. Umbrellas are allowed on the trail, we just ask that you are courteous of others when using.
When should I arrive?
