The section "up top" that doesn't require much in the way of mobility (i.e. does not involved the steep walk down to the Japanese Gardens) is improved this year from last.

Edit: Also, I really hate it when people delete their comments. OP was complaining about accessibility at Maymont Garden Glow in case anyone was wondering.

Not sure what your mobility issues are but they run tuk tuks from the entrance down to the main attraction and back for those with mobility issues. Just don’t want others to get discouraged and not go thinking they don’t have any options for people with mobility issues.

Yes, last year I saw them using something that looked like a golf cart. Pretty sure I saw one of those again yesterday as well

At a risk of potentially starting an argument, you made me look up the "Accessibility" portion of the event:

>This is a self-guided walking experience with moderate hiking and inclines. Limitations of the pathways to and throughout the historic gardens prevent wheelchairs, strollers and other assistive devices from accessing that portion of the event. The Glow Village, including the food trucks, Glow Shop, fire pits and Glow Bar are located on the Carriage House Lawn, and generally accessible by self-propelled mobility aids as well as strollers.

I'm not sure how they could put that any differently.
