Bring a flashlight and explore the Garden after dark while discovering the nocturnal world of plants and animals. Families can meet live animals, make creepy-crawly crafts, join guided night hikes, explore interactive activities with scientists and nature organizations, and grab dinner from visiting food trucks.
Catch the interactive World Famous Spider Show, where volunteers become spiders and their prey in silly theatrical skits, plus a special nighttime-themed performance from Bob Baker Marionette Theater. The event takes place entirely outdoors; costumes are not permitted.
Admission: $21 adults, $17 students/seniors, and $15 children. Member pricing available. Advance tickets are strongly recommended.
