The parking lot was totally empty when we got there early this afternoon around 1:30. It wasn't totally clear if you had to pay for parking so we ended up parking on 16th Ave SW, where street parking is free.
We walked all around the Chinese Garden. It was cool to see all of the Astra Lumina stuff up in the day time — we basically walked what we assumed was the path you'd take if you were at the event. We didn't see practically anyone else the whole time. The trails were all in good shape — mostly graveled and some (but not many) puddles.
We then headed over to the campus arboretum, which was also pretty cool! Lots of labeled vegetation to identify, with a lot of things bare for the winter.
We were walking around for maybe 45 minutes. By the time we left, the Astra Lumina lights were turning on and we could hear some of the music playing — we guessed they were getting the displays ready for the evening/night.

How close to being finished is the garden now? It seems they've been working on it forever.

It looks like there are still a lot of big plans for the garden! As of yesterday, it's a really nice walk around and the existing structures are very nice. The online plans make it look like it will be super cool when they're done with it.
