I was walking back home one evening with my mom; we were visiting my aunt, who lives near Dyker Heights, and we came across houses with pretty lights. We were amazed at how many people started taking pictures in front of the houses, and it was getting crowded with people walking. I would recommend that others try visiting; it’s free and great for pictures. Not to mention that Dyker Heights are famous for the Christmas lights, and they also offer tours.

Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
New York Botanical Garden
On October 31, Halloween night, I saw The Nightmare Before Christmas trail lights in the Bronx botanical garden. I went with my boyfriend, so he drove us over there, and the distance was much longer compared to the walk through the garden full of lights. It was a good hour from here in Brooklyn to the Bronx. The walk was about 20–30 minutes. Which was a ripoff, especially for the amount of money I spent for ONE ticket, but there was a promotion going on, and I saved 20% for going on a Thursday night. I spent about $80.00 on both tickets, and I thought sice it was Halloween, everyone would be outside tick or treating, but NOO. It was packed; I don’t really like being in areas that get crowded quickly. But overall I love the movie, so that’s why I wanted to attend, and I’m obsessed with Zero. Would I recommend others go? No, but if you’re a big fan, then go for it, but you wouldn’t catch me going again; that one time was great!
National Museum of the American Indian
The museum I picked was The National Museum of the American Indian because it was free admission. It’s a small museum but has much information, and they were doing renovations, so they weren’t open to everything in the museum.
