Much more walkable than Maymont - my father has mobility issues and he did great this year, while I would never consider taking him to Maymont. Lewis Ginter also has wheelchairs, those sit/stand walkers, and double strollers for rental on first come first serve basis. It’s a lovely event and a great night out. There are many places throughout the park to stop and rest for a moment, and two indoor buildings worth exploring (the main greenhouse with Christmas tree, and the library with a model train display). And the treehouse mentioned on this thread is closed for renovations anyway so don’t worry about that

Went over the weekend. Lots of strollers, wheelchairs, etc. very mobility friendly.

You and your son are going to love it :) they also sell hot cocoa and cider and they have an indoor model train setup—that room is slightly crowded sometimes, it’s kind of small, but accessible as well.

I will add that some of the paths are a little dark IMO, if low visibility would be a problem for you.

I brought two older relatives with knee/arthritis issues to Lewis Ginter this summer. They did take a couple of breaks but had a wonderful time.
