NightGarden 2026
November 13, 2026 @ 6:00 pm – January 3, 2027 @ 11:59 pm
NightGarden returns to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden for the holiday season, combining a walk through illuminated garden paths and interactive light displays with seasonal activities, food, and drinks.
Returning attractions include Archimedes the talking tree, the Giant Dandelions, the Tree of Life, and a garden laser show. Visitors can follow projections along Pixie’s Detour, walk through the lights and sounds of the Rainbow Rainforest, and see fairy displays with updated lighting, soundscapes, and locations. Holiday movie nights also return.
New this season, guests can ice skate on a rink with real ice set beneath the palms. Skating requires a separate ticket in addition to NightGarden admission. Food trucks offer meals and refreshments, along with specialty coffee and hot chocolate.
The garden walk takes approximately one hour, and all ages are welcome. The venue is wheelchair accessible, but wheelchairs are not available to rent.
Sunday-Thursday: from 6 pm to 10pm
