Lightscape at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Park · Prospect Heights, Brooklyn
But skipping Lightscape at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden would be a mistake.
Visiting a botanic garden might not be the first thing that comes to mind when looking for the best Christmas lights in New York City. But skipping Lightscape at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden would be a mistake. Explore in amazement as an illuminated trail takes you through impressive light installations designed by international artists.
Seasonal treats and festive music are par for the course, everyone in the family will feel the holiday spirit in no time. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is one of the best places to see Christmas lights in New York City with kids, my five-year-old niece has a blast every time.
