Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Fairchild Garden is giving us a whole springtime fairy fantasty with the debut of this whimsical scavenger hunt, running from May 9th through June 15th. Follow themed clues left by mischievious spites in 10 enchanted locations to discover a hidden Fairy Village where imagination blooms. Complete your quest to earn a sparkling fairy pin and a chance to win a Fairchild Family Membership. The self-guided adventure is included with general admission and free for members.

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.

Mango season in Miami is a big deal—so much so that we gave our favorite local produce its own festival, an annual tradition at Fairchild Garden for over three decades. On July 12th and 13th, learn everything there is to know about the juicy stone fruit and sample countless mango varieties, grown both around the globe and right here in our backyard, as on-site vendors whip up smoothies, mango-inspired cocktails and more refreshing natural treats. Mango seedlings will also be available for purchase so you can grow your own, you green thumb, you.
