@Janine - There's no formal programming for children who are as young as your daughter is, but you are certainly welcome to bring her along. You can see the full event schedule on BBG's website, bbg.org/lunarnewyear.

Hi Melissa, I'm interested in attending the Lunar New Year Celebration and was wondering if this was for all ages. My daughter is 19 months old. Thanks for your time!

@Celeste - definitely! We're looking forward to a great centennial, and will share details on events, etc. as they're finalized.

Hi All! I read above that the Gardan was founded in 1910. So, I guess we can look forward to celebrating a 100th birthday next year? Cant wait to see what's on tap;)
