  • Do not count on passes, coupons, or other discounts; Botanica says most special events do not accept them.
  • Check the Illuminations event page for parking details before arriving, since the general parking page directs event visitors there.
  • Dress in warm layers for an evening outdoors, as the event takes place across garden grounds.
