Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is hosting evening fun to complement its “Bugging Out: A Bugs World but Bigger!” summer exhibition, on view now through mid-September. 

The after-dark events will offer visitors new ways to experience the garden’s insect-themed showcase. The evening events transform the garden into an illuminated wonderland featuring large-scale robotic insect sculptures, guided twilight safari tours, and outdoor cinema experiences.

Programming includes family-friendly activities with interactive dance parties and G-rated movie screenings. The “Wings of the Tropics Butterfly” exhibit remains open during evening hours, offering visitors a rare opportunity to observe nocturnal butterfly behavior in a climate-controlled tropical paradise housing hundreds of species, including Blue Morpho butterflies.
