Starting Friday, November 15, and running on select dates until January 5, 2025, Lightscape at the Chicago Botanic Garden will dazzle with brand-new installations and beloved favorites, offering guests the chance to immerse themselves in a world of light, color, and sound.
Returning for its fifth year, the 1.3-mile reimagined trail will include installations from around the world and beloved classics like the 110-foot Winter Cathedral.
The electrifying experience offers visitors the chance to embrace the season’s beauty with a must-do winter bucket list activity in Chicago.
This year’s all-new path features radiant new works from a range of international artists created just for the Chicago Botanic Garden, including:
- Lilies, from UK artist Jigantics: Illuminated 5-foot lilies float elegantly on water, providing a mesmerizing view from the bridge above and igniting a sense of warmth and excitement.
- Night Lights, from French artist TILT: Delicate lamp-shaped lights that extend nearly 19 feet high amplify a cozy atmosphere with a display of soft ambient colors.
- Sea of Light, from UK artist Ithaca: Thousands of individually controlled balls of LED light make Evening Island sparkle and dance their way to a bespoke soundtrack in multiple patterns and colors.
Adult tickets are $30 for members and $34 for nonmembers, and child tickets are $19 for members and $21 for nonmembers. Children 2 and under are free.
Lightscape is open on select days through November, December, and January from 4.30 p.m. until 11 p.m.
