Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Lest we need another reminder that Miami summers really bring the bugs out, Fairchild is throwing a larger-than-life celebration of our six-legged friends from May 23rd through September 28th. From towering robotic sculptures to a walk-through butterfly pavilion and AR selfie station, hands-on bug encounters and interactive trails, this family-friendly exhibit zooms in on the tiny world of bugs. Select dates will also include the Bugs on Parade insect runway shows, Wander & Glow illuminated nighttime trails, Bug Bites & Brews 21-plus tastings and Big Bug outdoor movies under the stars. Included with general admission; free for members.

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden kicks off spooky season with Troll Quest, an interactive treasure hunt running daily from September 1st to 30th. Follow the lush, enchanted trails, solve riddles and track down adorable hidden troll characters while trying to outsmart Spriggle, the garden’s mischievous central troll, for a chance at a prize. Designed for all ages, the adventure layers challenges for the whole family and incorporates your smartphone to unlock parts of the quest. Admission is included with general entry (free for members).
