    This is a beautiful place to see. The park is just off the Van Wyck. They have a variety of flowers and open space. They have a composed program. Great place to get out and enjoy the beauty

    The Astra Lumina exhibition was amazing. We spent a good hour exploring around and looking at the light show. It was magical. I felt everything overall was well organized. The time I went it wasn't super crowded or busy so we had an opportunity to take our time. I hope they have something like this again for this coming year.

    This review is for their Astra Lumina Exhibit, which ends in Feb 2024. Go while you can! Get tickets: https://astralumina.com/new-york/ Ticket prices range from $29-$65 (child, seniors, adults, with or without parking); plus ticketing fees. Note that the entrance is on Crommelin St (not Main St.) Astra Lumina: an enchanted night walk amongst the stars...in the Queens Botanical Garden! This magical walk takes about an hr but I would suggest to take your time and experience these magical lights and sounds to the fullest. Once you exit, there is no re-entry. I really didn't know what to expect when I purchased tkts. It looked pretty cool and interesting on Instagram! Haha Here's a description from their website: This enchanted night walk at Queens Botanical Garden invites visitors to discover the wonder of visiting stars. Set off across mysterious grounds to discover a celestial pathway of lustrous light, cosmic visions, and astral song. Created by the visionary minds at Moment Factory, Astra Lumina NY is the 19th experience in the Lumina Night Walk series. This was my first time experiencing anything like this. I took my 9 yr old niece and she rates this 8.75/10 (talk about exact, huh?! lol). The entire event was visually stunning and yes, magical! I would rate this 7.5/10 cause I'm so jaded. lol But definitely a fun family event. There are benches along the path if you get tired or just want to sit and observe. Like I mentioned earlier, don't rush thru this path, or you'll find yourself at the exit really quickly. At their high prices, you'll want to stay a while. Tickets are sold for specific timeslots but we got there early, and they let us in right away. Street Parking in the area can be challenging but you may get lucky like we did, or pay for parking at the Queens Botanical Garden. But I would suggest looking for street parking first. There are a couple of food, beverage and merchandise vendors. Plenty of restrooms; you'll want to use the ones inside the offices at the entrance, unless you're a fan of the porta toilets (no thanks!). All in all, a cool event but I probably wouldn't go twice.
