In late November, a new light display took over the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park. Lightscape quickly became a hit, with numerous dazzling lights decorating the gardens. In response to the high demand, organizers have added two new dates for the installation, both offering tickets during non-peak hours. The new dates are December 10 and 16, with adult tickets starting at $32 and youth tickets at $20. If you are a member, ticket prices start at $26 for adults and $16 for children. General admission tickets are given in 15-minute time slots, so it’s important to arrive on time for your slot. The installation is family-friendly, and kids four and under are allowed free entry.

Lightscape includes over a million lights, compiled into a light trail that stretches a mile through the gardens. The installation has traveled around the world, showcasing iconic sights in numerous cities, and each show is created to interact with it’s latest venue. You can also expect water features and sculptures along the lighted trail. Lightscape will be open until January 4, 2024, so you still have plenty of time to visit. . On Saturdays, guests can get free hot chocolate and a deal on donuts.

Lightscape is just one of the many holiday light displays in the Bay Area this winter. Starting this weekend, you can experience Let’s Glow SF in downtown, featuring large-scale light projections on iconic San Francisco buildings. In the East Bay, the Ruth Bancroft Garden hosts a beautiful light display every year, called the Garden of D’lights. The installation includes colorful lights and lasers, and is open through the new year.
