Is it open at night?
The park grounds are often accessible into the early evening, and the tower is illuminated after dark.
Exact evening closing varies by season and management, so confirm as you would for daytime.
Illumination
After sunset the monument is lit, making it a popular evening sight.
This is also the best time for night photography of the lit structure.
What you can do
- Walk the lit park paths and view the tower from the lawns.
- Photograph the illumination from a distance.
- Enjoy the cooler evening air in summer.
Getting back
Pre-book or hail a ride from near a gate; evenings are busier.
Allow buffer time for pickup in old-city traffic.
Safety
- Stay in lit, populated areas of the park.
- Keep valuables secure.
- Supervise children near water and in crowds.
Photography at night
A tripod helps in low light; shoot from the lawns for a stable foreground.
See the photography guide for angles.
