    Lucky Koi Bubble Tea

    Pick up a bubble tea at Lucky Koi Bubble Tea. It is open from 14:00 to 22:00 on weekdays, so it will be ready for you well before the sun goes down. The shop is just an 11-minute walk from the gallery.

    UB Anderson Gallery

    Walk to the UB Anderson Gallery. You have plenty of time to browse the permanent collection or a current exhibition before heading out. The gallery is open until 17:00 on weekdays.

  3. 17:06

    UB Anderson Gallery

    Step outside the gallery and head toward the southwest. The sun sets toward the WSW at 17:06, casting a warm glow over the street. This is the moment to pause and watch the light fade.

  4. 17:36

    St. Andrew's Sculpture Garden

    Walk down to St. Andrew's Sculpture Garden. It is a 15-minute stroll south from the gallery. The garden offers a quiet, artistic space to wind down after the sunset viewing.

Local tip

The walk from the gallery to the sculpture garden is short and pleasant. If you prefer a warmer drink or a snack before the gallery, Amy's Place or Lake Effect Diner are also very close and open late.
