Lightscape is open to the public and runs on select dates through Sunday, January 2, 2022. Lightscape will be absolutely the cherry on top!įor the record, I believe it’s worth the drive even if you’re not already in the area, but be advised that it takes less than an hour to walk through the grounds, so take your time, take plenty of photos, and enjoy the journey! Or add it to your itinerary if you’re doing Galveston or Kemah evens for the holidays. (Wheelchairs are not provided and cannot be rented on-site.)Īnd OK, yes, Houston Botanic Garden, located at 1 Botanic Ln in zip code 77017, is a bit further south in Houston than you would typically drive, but visiting Lightscape event pairs well with your next trip to the city for dinner or a show. Lightscape is accessible for strollers, wheelchairs, and mobility assistant devices. Parking was easy and the parking lot is safe and well attended. (We had just finished our Thanksgiving dinner, so we did not indulge.) Roasting smore’s was also an option. When visiting Lightscape, you can even stop along the trail and purchase refreshments such as hot cocoa and snacks.
My favorite installation at the event was the Fire Garden, but I won’t be sharing my photos and video here because I need you to get there and be as much in awe at this installation as I was! In a word, it was captivating!Ĭlick here to see the original news update and photos we published a while back. The light displays are set along a beautifully illuminated path winding through the Garden. Walking through Lightscapeat Houston Botanic Garden felt like a dream! The internationally acclaimed experience wasn’t a crazy, over-the-top sensory overload for my family, but rather an elegant, magical, and beautiful trail of well-planned, thoughtful installations that kept us delighted with every step.
