• Brooklyn Botanical Garden Lightscape Program

    Brooklyn Botanic Garden Interpretation and Exhibitions

  We are happy to offer you a special opportunity to celebrate the beauty of nature in winter and explore Brooklyn Botanic Garden like never before at the illuminated spectacular Lightscape during our special Quiet Hours. 

  Lightscape Quiet Hours take place at twilight on November 21, December 8, and January 9, with entry from 4:30 to 5 p.m. 

  These special early hours are designed for adults and children with disabilities or sensory sensitivity who would like to experience Lightscape without the usual high volume of people. Quiet Hours happen at dusk before the illuminated trail opens to the public, making the transition into the dark much easier. 

  Capacity is limited during Quiet Hours to ensure that the trail remains less crowded and more relaxed. The trail is fully accessible, and wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis at the entrance; please let our staff know if you would like a wheelchair when you arrive. Staff along the path will be available to answer questions and assist visitors.  

  Tickets for Quiet Hours during our inaugural year of Lightscape are being offered at half the regular admission price, and, as always, personal care attendants enter for free.

  Purchase tickets here; use this access code: NYC75EDQ
