Step into wonder at Lightscape
Come for the glow of lights under the night sky. Stay for the moments you’ll remember together. Before the holidays race by, make time for an evening beneath the stars with the people you love. At every bend in the trail is another reason to pause, look up, and say, "Wow."
New in 2026
With 20 of its 24 installations new this year, Lightscape offers more to discover than ever.
Step inside a larger-than-life snow globe as the world enclosed around you sparkles. These are the memories you'll share on the way home.
Watch as a ballerina of light twirls, leaps, and dances across the night sky in perfect harmony within the landscape. You’ll linger longer here, hoping for an encore.
