Luminaria


Slow down and share a moment of serenity with the people you love in a stroll along the candlelit pathways of the Kurimoto Japanese Garden. Warmed by fires and hot apple cider, take in the sounds of a capella singers, light a candle in memory of a loved one and mark the essence of the season in a ritual of peace and beauty.

Daily Admission


The Garden is open in December during the Luminaria event. Tickets must be booked in advance. The Garden will re-open to the public in spring, starting May 9, 2025.

Twilight Picnic Experience


Slow down, relax and enjoy a chef-created meal before meandering through the peaceful grounds with a glass of wine or local craft beer. As the frogs begin their chorus, the sun sets over the bridge in the Kurimoto Japanese Garden and lights reflect on the Aga Khan Garden fountains.

Concert Admission


Is there anything better than listening to music while surrounded by natural beauty? This season, you're invited to enjoy a lineup of wonderful musicians on one of our concert evenings. An eclectic, vibrant assortment of performances is scheduled.
