About Red Butte Garden: Garden in the Dark

The University of Utah considers the blooms of spring flowers, the colors of fall leaves, and the greenery of winter pines to be public resources. With that in mind, the university oversees the Red Butte Garden, a community funded, non-profit outdoor attraction. Across its hundreds of miles, visitors find opportunities to view seasonal foliage or simply relax outside with a good book.

  • Size: more than 100 acres, with miles of hiking trails, walking paths, and display gardens
  • Eye Catcher: the garden's springtime display of approximately 350,000 bulbs in full bloom
  • Don't Miss: the wide variety of roses that bloom along the Floral Walk and in the Rose Garden during summer
  • Ways to Explore: private and public tram tours and hikes during warmer months; snowshoe expeditions during the winter
  • Special Programs and Entertainment: events for kids; plant sales; gardening classes; film screenings; live shows in the Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre
  • Pro Tip: complimentary WiFi suffuses the grounds, making the garden a scenic place to get some work done or play virtual farming games

I love going to Red Butte Gardens especially for Garden After Dark. My family has been going there for years and to get a discount is a nice little treat.

It was such a fun, fun night! Plan on doing a lot of walking. Look at the map before it gets too dark, so you have an idea of where you are going! My kids ages 4 and 1 loved it!! I'm planning on doing this every year from here on out!

Garden After Dark is wonderful for kids to wear their costumes... A nice way to make all that money you spend on costumes worth it. It does get cold so either have them wear layers under costumes or bring a jacket for them.

What a beautiful gem in SLC...We frequent the garden often but this was our first time to Garden After Dark--what a fun family event! The staff and volunteers are friendly and informative--and the garden facilities are at their best!
