Description

Lightscape returns for its fourth year to the 37-acre San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas from November 14 through January 4. Spanning one mile, the enchanting illuminated trail has been reinvigorated to feature spectacular sights with brand-new eye-catching artistic installations from international artists, along with some returning favorites from previous years that come alive at night with color, imagination, and sound.

Set along a beautifully illuminated walking trail custom-designed for San Diego, Lightscape ticket holders will walk a one-mile-long path with tunnels of lights. Reimagined for the 2025 holiday season, the trail will feature the return of fan favorites along with brand-new installations including illuminated California poppies, a field of fireflies, laser garden, and other artistic installations. Along the way, visitors will enjoy festive music, seasonal bites, and holiday cocktails. This year will feature the addition of two 21+ nights on Thursday, November 20 and Thursday, December 4, and will be open on Christmas Eve.

Tickets start at $28 for adults and $18 for children (ages 2 and under are free). Prices vary by date. For added flexibility, Anytime Access tickets are also available at a flat rate (not eligible for Member discounts). SDBG Members receive 10% off standard ticket pricing all season long.
