The Mount Estate & Gardens
Enjoy another year of an ethereal winter landscape inspired by The Mount’s unique architecture and history. NightWood combines music, lighting, and theatrical elements to create seven unique scenes that evoke feelings of wonder, mystery, and magic.
The total route is approximately 3/4 of a mile through the woods and gardens and includes both paved and unpaved pathways, inclines, and stairs.
Remember to dress for the weather. Trails may be muddy or icy at times: winter boots are strongly recommended. NightWood is appropriate for visitors of all ages. Dates and times sell out; advanced purchase of timed-entry tickets is required.
