a month agoWent to the Radiant Nature light exhibit there & had a good time. From the road entrance to the parking lot & the entrance there were staff working & guiding. It's a 45 min trail walk but it was really pleasant & there was always a staff member around. They were all very nice, informative & friendly. I went early when they opened & I recommend going early because it gets really packed with people. The light exhibits do look a lot better at night but as the sun was setting the atmosphere was nice as well. You get a lot of time to view the scenery without the noise & people. And you can always go back to the trail again.

2 weeks agoGreat place to take family from out of town or even if you live here. Hidden gem! Went on a Friday night, and it was fairly empty throughout. The path is clear and safe. Paid $28/ticket, and kids under three are free. There are little food stands and drink stands in the main patio near the gift shop. And restrooms as well were super clean! 10/10 Recommend for all ages!!

a month agoRadiant Lights is an incredible experience. The level of mastery in each display is amazing. The huge size and height of the lanterns is a must see in person as photos don’t show how large each display is. Plan for no less than one hour to walk through the entire exhibit. It’s because an annual tradition for my family!

a month agoHouston botanic garden has the Radiant lights around this time of the year. We visited the park in the morning on a rainy day so there wasn’t any visitors. Very relaxing and can see the light sculpture and displays in daylight. Will definitely come back for the lights after dark.

a month agoA good walk takes almost 1-1.5 hrs to cover most of the landscape.. good restrooms and sitting areas.. they have created artificial radiant nature with glowing light’s attractions for holiday season I guess. A good family time can be spent here.
