If you do not have a disability placard and someone in your party has mobility concerns, you are welcome to drop off passengers in our circle drive adjacent to the Visitor Center before you park. Guests directed to secondary lots can take advantage of shuttle buses which will transport them to the main event area. Otherwise, parking is first come, first served, and is directed by parking attendants. Parking is available near the entrance for those with a disability placard on their vehicle-as it will be dark outside, please notify the parking attendant as you drive in. (However, please note, pets are not permitted at the Arboretum except on special dog admission days.) The Morton Arboretum welcomes visitors with service animals to Illumination. Please be aware that Illumination features moving and flashing lights along the trail, in case a member of your party is sensitive to these effects. Crowds are generally lighter on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday making it easier to navigate the trail. Personal mobility scooters may also be used on the trail.Īrboretum staff make best efforts to clear the path of ice and snow. Because our supply is limited, we recommend bringing a wheelchair to the Arboretum, if needed.
ILLUMINATE MAGNOLIA LICENSE
Guests must leave a driver’s license or other photo ID to check out a wheelchair.
ILLUMINATE MAGNOLIA FREE
The Arboretum has a small number of non-motorized wheelchairs available free of charge in the Visitor Center on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests have the option to skip the second half of the exhibition, bypassing the large incline at Ornament Hill, by heading back toward the Visitor Center on the tram road. The exhibition is not fully accessible to visitors with limited mobility. We advise guests to keep the length and hilly nature of the trail in mind. The Illumination trail is a one-mile paved walking path that includes one large incline (Frost Hill) approximately halfway through the exhibition, and several smaller inclines and declines. Please note that any ticket purchases made on-site during Illumination will be credit card only. Illumination will highlight the many gifts of trees: natural beauty, increased feelings of peace and calm, homes for wildlife, and the air we breathe.Īdvance purchase is recommended as many nights will sell out. Along the route, warm up by a crackling fire and roast marshmallows for s’mores, or stop in one of the concession tents for a snack and beverage.
