Dear Sirs,

Due to the great interest in the "Garden of Lights" exhibition, we would like to inform you about the weekend and holiday Limiting online ticket sales to 1,000 tickets per hour (A maximum of 5,000 visitors per day). This is the only way to be able to control the number of visitors and reduce the inconvenience caused by too large an accumulation of people coming to the Garden at the same time.

In addition, 2,000 tickets will be available for purchase at the box office on weekends and holidays.

Only those with valid tickets for the day are allowed into the Garden. Unused tickets can be exchanged by calling 459 595 777.

Justification:

  1. The exhibition is open daily for five hours (4pm-2pm).
  2. Visiting the exhibition takes an average of 1-1.5 hours (and, together with entering and exiting the exhibition and leaving the Garden grounds, about 2-2.5 hours on weekends and holidays, and about 1.5 hours on weekdays).
  3. On weekends and holidays, the partitioned part of the Garden for cars fills up until 5:00-17:30 pm, then the rotation is about 5 cars per minute. This can cause traffic jams, which around 7 pm can reach more than 1 km, both from Warsaw and Konstancin-Jeziorna (from Borowa Street) and Piaseczno and Kierszek (from Prawdziwek Street).
  4. About 700 cars can stop in the Garden at the same time. In 5 hours - a maximum of 1,400 to 1,700 vehicles in three separate areas A, B and C.
  5. On average, 3 people arrive by car, so the limitation due to the capacity of the part of the Garden set aside for cars is about 2,500 at any one time. However, the capacity of the exhibition is higher. According to hygiene and sanitary requirements, it is 10,000 people per day, but due to the limited capacity of both access roads and parking spaces, the Garden can accommodate up to 4,000 people at the same time (the exhibition is spread over 100,000 m2, on which there are about 3 km of paths with a width of 6 m).
  6. Coaches may enter the Garden only through Entrance C, where they are positioned by traffic managers.
  7. Anyone who can use public transportation is encouraged to come by bus:

139 from Metro Wilanowska

commutes to the Garden (three courses per hour)

200 from Central Station

251 from Metro Wilanowska

724, 741, 742 from Metro Kabaty

reach the stop on Borowa Street (Walk to the Garden about 15-20 minutes - shorter than standing in traffic!)

When planning to come to the "Garden of Lights" exhibition, please take into account the existing restrictions and the above recommendations.

At the same time, we would like to inform you that the exhibition lasts 110 days, and its capacity is set at about 400,000 people, averaging approx. 3600 people per day (730 people per hour) and about 240 cars per hour. Keep in mind that there are about 40 public holidays during this period, plus the January 31-February 13, 2022. - winter holidays.

Therefore, please plan your arrival at the Garden carefully, perhaps arrange with friends to carpool, and choose a convenient date so that you can avoid much of the inconvenience caused by the huge interest in the "Garden of Lights" exhibition.
