Help us celebrate Mother Nature’s living lanterns during a fun-filled evening extravaganza! Discover the mysteries of bioluminescence and try your hand at firefly communication. Play glow games, make a firefly craft, and see roosting butterflies in our Tropical Conservatory. After the sun sets, join our entomologists on a short walk through Faust Park to see fireflies in action. Remember, it’s BYOF (bring your own flashlight)!

Come celebrate the masters of both air and water! Join us as we glimpse into the secretive aquatic life of dragonfly nymphs in our Native Butterfly Garden pond, and take a short trek to find prime viewing of these aerial daredevils on the hunt. Fun games and adventures will test your abilities against those of our four-winged friends.
