Brighter Winter Nights at Alaska’s Botanical Garden is a great way to lift your spirits during this unusually warm Winter. Tickets are currently discounted due to melting ice sculptures, starting at $6 for members and $10 for nonmembers. Children six and under can enter for free year-round! Enjoy the lights and various activities (the Kicksled trail will be open based on snowfall) on Fridays and Saturdays from 5-8 p.m. through February 22, 2025. Attending the Botanical Garden can be a great way to support a local nonprofit while combatting Seasonal Affective Disorder!
