‘Nightmare Before Christmas’-inspired light trail to open at New York Botanical Garden

THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) – A light trail inspired by the Tim Burton film “The Nightmare Before Christmas” will be opening at the New York Botanical Garden this fall.

The light trail will bring to life characters, scenes, and songs from the classic Disney film. It will be open from dusk to 10 p.m. every Thursday through Sunday from Sept. 27 through Nov. 30 at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx.

“Bringing Burton’s distinctive characters to life, the outdoor adventure will feature over 8,300 square feet of dazzling light installations forged by cutting-edge technology including interactive video projection, intelligent LED lighting, and 3D printed sculptures of the film’s iconic characters,” a press release stated.

The light trail was created by the entertainment company Adventurelive and the creative team LETSGO.

“I want to make an experience that surprises people – that is both visually stunning and sonically cool. This is going to be a thrilling new way to experience both Tim Burton’s story and one of the greatest gardens on Earth,” said Jeffrey Seller, the founder of Adventurelive.

Tickets are $49 for adults and $39 for kids. For more information, click here .
