About

An after-dark light trail through the subtropical gardens and woodland valley, with a longer route and displays of colour, shape and texture.

The 2026 trail transforms familiar paths and plants with light installations. The booking calendar offers October entry start times from 17:30 to 19:00, then selected winter dates from 16:30 to 18:30. The two runs have separate ticket windows; family tickets and free parking are available.
