Please Note: Only a ¼ km section of the trail, a loop within the garden, is fully wheelchair accessible and stroller-friendly, starting and ending at the same point. The rest of the 1 km trail features uneven ground, rough terrain, and hilly areas. Strollers and wagons are not recommended on the trail. The trail is dark, lit only by jack-o-lanterns. For your safety we recommend bringing a flashlight and wearing sturdy footwear.
