NYC Winter Lantern Festival

The NYC Winter Lantern Festival took place from November 19th to January 12th at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden in Staten Island, New York. This family-friendly festival included eight acres of lights, interactive exhibits, live cultural shows, and much more. It was opened every day at 5 pm except on Mondays and Tuesdays; the festival closed on those days. The tickets were $25 per person, I believe, and even cheaper for children.

I got a deal on Groupon for $10, but there was a catch! You could only enter the festival at 8:30 pm for whatever day you chose. I felt an hour to explore was more than enough to enjoy. There were over 1000 lanterns on display with incredible figures of luminescent art. It truly was a whimsical world of lights and the creativity was one of a kind!

Hopefully, the NYC Winter Lantern Festival will be back next year for all who missed it. It is certainly a must-do for families, and I would recommend this event to anyone.
