The much-anticipated new light trail inspired by Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is now open to the public at the New York Botanical Garden. The holiday season has begun!  

Created by Adventurelive, the producers behind Broadway's iconic Hamilton, and LETSGO, a creative company that has worked on similar projects around the world, the experience brings the famous film's characters to life over 8,300 square feet of light installations that are made that much more wonderful by the technology employed throughout the area (think LED lighting, video projections, 3D sculptures).

In a way, attending the event feels like stepping inside Burton's genius brain.

The experience is open through November 30 but, as the weeks go by, we expect the weather to turn colder and the rain to get more frequent—so we suggest snagging tickets to the shindig right here ASAP.
