During Miami winters, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden transforms itself into The NightGarden, an enchanted, illuminated experience full of fantasy and wonderment – where things like the Wise Talking Tree, Archimedes and Flying Fairies come to life.
This gorgeous magical garden is scheduled to open on Nov. 15, 2024 through Jan. 12, 2025.

Feast your eyes on stunning special effects and immerse yourself in a world of fantasy, where you can chat with a “wise tree” and use a special “FairyScope” (NightGarden's augmented reality game) to search for fairies. Enjoy five brand new illuminated zones. While you're at it, make this a special night out on the town and enjoy some of Miami's most popular food trucks.
