San Antonio Botanical Garden

An overall lovely experience with high quality buildings and upkeep. Worth the money and worth a visit!

The Lightscape presentation is absolutely stunning and the grounds are spectacular!
The ticket purchasing is not synchronized with the parking purchasing! We bought tickets to the Light exhibit yet ALL parking was sold out online! We just took a chance, drove up to the Garden for our 8: 15 p.m. Time slot and we're able to park in VIP. Please fix this!

San Antonio Botanical + Lightscape = an experience unlike anything ever seen in the Christmas holiday! The SIGHTS and SOUNDS are jaw dropping and it's an experience the whole family will enjoy.

Fantastic evening in San Antonio at Light Scape. Lots of cool stations including Adult beverages, S'mores, Hot Dogs/Tamales, and Chocolate

Not very crowded tonight and plenty to see. Great time with the family.

Based on the promotional video that was shared on social media, our group was expecting to see lots of Christmas lights. There were only a handful of displays, not really Christmas lights but lots of Christmas songs on repeat. Bluebonnets, light tunnel, and the field of lights were the main attractions. Not worth it for $25/person.

Came to the Botanical Garden for the Lightscape holiday event. I came before Thanksgiving to avoid the larger crowds close to Christmas. Purchased the VIP tickets to get parking onsite and not have to take the shuttle from the UIW campus as well as have the shorter line to enter the garden. It was more expensive than general admission, but I felt it was worth it to avoid the crowds and it supports the garden.

The flow of traffic is generally one way, but you're able to walk at your own pace and spend as much time as you want in each area. Since everything is spread out, there was plenty of space to take your own pictures. Throughout the garden, there's several areas to stop and buy food and drinks. The stops are designed like a food course meal as the first stop is primarily drinks, next stop appetizers, next stop meals, and the last stop is desserts. That concept was very creative. The lights were well done and with a lot of attention to detail. Throughout the garden you could hear music softly playing in the background. Overall, very nice experience. The Botanical Garden is very nice during other times of the year, so this was a nice holiday event.

Went over Thanksgiving holiday to the light extravaganza. It was so well done. Works love to see the blinds in the spring. Will definitely go back during the day.

My family and I had a lovely day walking through the San Antonio Botanical Garden. It was clean and easy to navigate. The gardens were gorgeous!

Beautiful lightscape program tonight. It was a pleasure to walk it. The crowds were manageable and the transportation well organized. A future consideration will be handicap access. The shuttle drop off was at stairs and no wheel chairs were available. These are improvements to be made. If still give the show an A.

Went to see the lights.it was.underwhelming honestly. $23 per person plus $15 for parking and the lights were basic. There were a few set ups that were pretty but really I could have done all of that myself. For what I paid I really expected more.

Not a very extensive "Cactus and succulent" section, but luckily I was able to locate some succulents before the end of the trip

We loved the lights and the music. It was a fun walk with the family and there was a bus back to the car. A perfect holiday night.

We went to see the Christmas lights, which were underwhelming compared to previous botanical garden locations in Chicago, Savannah and Seattle. We were expecting to see more Christmas light presentations. Overall it was nice to see lights, but it felt as if they left up Halloween lights for a good part of the walk.

We went to the lightscape event. The whole place is lit up with colored spot lights and they play Christmas music.
