Travel Club - Lightscapes


The night was alight with a soft and comforting glow emanating from the Van Cortlandt Manor. The Friday Night Travel club journeyed to this illuminated wonderland of elegant curiosities last Friday night to explore this Springtime delight.

The Lightscape show, in its first year, is a self guided walking tour of a lighted sculpture garden featuring all hand- made pieces  assembled on site. Recycled elements serve as eco-friendly building blocks for intergalactic flora and friendly woodland creatures. Otherworldly mushrooms, immense insects, and brilliant butterflies are among the thousands of treasures you’ll find.

The travel crew explored the Colorwheel Castle and squiggled through the Caterpillar Cavern. They discovered larger-than-life elements like a colossal praying mantis and a massive mayfly. There were scores of delightful dragonflies, cute ladybugs, and an avalanche of pinwheels!

After this sweet springtime stroll the Travel Club gathered in the hospitality tent and enjoyed some fresh popcorn and delightful conversation. The Lightscape show was an excellent compliment to the fall Jack O’Lantern Blaze traversing the same gorgeous landscape at Van Cortlandt Manor. The Friday Fun group will experience the Lightscape Show this week. Enjoy!
