Lightscape at Brooklyn Botanic Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Lightscape, Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s after-dark illuminated trail, returns this winter from November 21, 2025 to January 4, 2026. Now in its fifth year, Lightscape has dazzled hundreds of thousands of visitors with luminous installations and light-splashed landscapes highlighting the beauty of the Garden in winter. An all-new experience awaits this year with a redesigned trail, a curated soundtrack, and special dining and drinking attractions.

Every year, the Lightscape trail offers a variety of food and beverage options for visitors of all ages, from sit-down dining to grab-and-go treats. Lightscape Lodge and the Lightscape will return with curated food and drinks by the Garden’s dining partners Union Square Events and Restaurant Associates in the Palm House and Yellow Magnolia Café, transformed for the season. The menu features festive winter classics, specialty cocktails, a kids’ menu and don’t-miss desserts. Along the trail, visitors can enjoy warm beverages and sweet or savory handheld treats at one of the trailside pop-ups. 

Tickets for adults and children can be purchased at bbg.org/lightscape; children 2 and under enter for free. Prices listed include all fees.
