Lightscape croton on hudson free#
Time slots and dates will sell out, so Historic Hudson Valley strongly recommends buying in advance online, where ticket prices are $16 for adults, $12 for children 3-17 and free for children under 3 and Historic Hudson Valley members. LIGHTSCAPES takes place rain or shine and admission is by timed ticket only. The first entry is 8:15pm (8:30pm the final three weekends).
LIGHTSCAPES takes place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings in May: May 1-3, 8-10, 15-17, 22-24, 29-31. There were plenty of littles there, and it’s a child-friendly event (as all of their events really are), so head out to Lightscapes 2015. It would have been earlier if I hadn’t lingered in the gift shop, so this is a very doable trip with your children. Though “Croton-on-the-Hudson” may feel far away, we were home by 930. The home baked snack tent also had some yummy goodies, including ice cream, cookies, brownies, popcorn, and more. I’d recommend returning to the gift shop after your tour, as I was able to find a couple items that would specifically remind me of the enjoyable time we had. Though the sun wasn’t completely gone, it was still dark enough for everyone to enjoy (plus I got some good photos with the remaining light). Even though our ticket times were for 815, the line was long enough, and the staff prepared enough, that we started walking through at 8. There is a grocery store adjacent to the lot, so if you arrive too early, it’s the perfect opportunity to grab a few needed items. Parking is very close, and you should know they only open the lot about 30 minutes early, based upon your ticket entrance times. If you need to bring a stroller, the grounds work fine for that. I’m very glad we were able to make it this year, and we look forward to making this an annual tradition in our house. The music was lovely, the weather was the lovely, the lights were so pretty. Quite honestly, I found the entire experience quite relaxing. I could have stayed there all night looking at it. My favorite part was the walkout into the field of lighted tulips I felt like I was in a sea of them. Sean came home to tell his father all about the castle we walked through being made out of milk jugs, the giant turtle made out of plastic tarps, the beehives out of bubble wrap, and he went on (and on, and on and.).
The boys thought all the crafted projects were amazing. It also excited him to come up with ideas to do himself at home. To see it in practice, though, really brought the learning to another level. The best part of the experience was listening to by 5yo repeating “wow! They REALLY reduce, reuse and recycle!” and “this is amazing! They used so much junk!” He’s learned a lot about recycling through school, boy scouts, and home experiments. It was all done with recyclable materials! We saw plastic cups, soda bottles, milk jugs, water cooler bottles, bubble wrap and other packaging material, and loads more (check out photos/videos on our Facebook pages). The team put together seas of ‘tulips’, loads of ‘ladybugs’, a castle, a field of mushrooms, and so much more. This is a similar idea as “The Blaze” with all the pumpkins, except this is all about flowers and spring findings. It is an event put on by Historic Hudson Valley and we were SO glad to have gone. This weekend my family was invited to see Lightscapes in Croton-On-The-Hudson.
