About this adventure
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's award-winning NightGarden illuminates 23 acres of world-renowned tropical plant collections with cutting-edge lighting, dazzling projections, and interactive family illusions. Stroll through rainbow-lit palm groves and neon orchid displays, hunt for hidden fairies with the augmented-reality FairyScope app, and strike up a conversation with 'Archie,' the legendary wise, talking ancient banyan tree who delights children with jokes and forest wisdom. New for the 2026 season, NightGarden introduces a real outdoor ice skating rink nestled under towering illuminated palm trees, offering a one-of-a-kind tropical winter experience. Wide, paved coral-rock paths accommodate strollers and mobility devices easily. Food truck courts offer hot churros, artisan s'mores kits, and festive refreshments along the illuminated lakefront.
