Yes, but exchanges are subject to a $10 transaction fee per exchange. This fee applies to members and nonmembers. Exchanges will not be allowed after November 1, 2022. Please contact the Customer Call Center at (847) 835-6801 to process. Tickets are subject to availability.

We think a little snow adds to the beauty of the event, but, of course, if the weather presents a hazard and a risk to safety, the Garden’s decision to cancel the event will be made at 2 p.m. on the day of the event. You will be notified via email of any cancellation and the rebooking process. Also, please check our website and social media pages for updates. Rebookings will only be allowed if the Garden cancels the event; otherwise, the event will take place rain or shine.

The trail is approximately a 1.25-mile path around the Garden’s main island.

The route is designed so that it can be navigated on paved and crushed gravel paths. The Chicago Botanic Garden has manual wheelchairs that can be loaned, free of charge, on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of use; no advance reservations accepted. The Garden’s ECVs (scooters) will not be available for rent during this event. If the weather conditions prohibit the trail from being fully accessible, for those needing mobility devices (wheelchairs, ECVs, walkers, etc.), consideration will be made on a case-by-case basis to allow for tickets to be transferred to alternate dates. If you have particular access requirements, please call the Garden at (847) 835-6801 for further inquiries.

There will be some lighting sequences that have some flashing lights contained within them; however, there is no strobe lighting.
