Fairies in the Garden
Through May 10, 2026
From: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
A self-guided fairy-themed adventure invites families to explore hidden corners of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden through clues, riddles and miniature discoveries. Running from April 10 through May 10 during regular garden hours, the experience transforms a visit into an interactive trail designed for children and curious explorers.
Participants follow a series of discovery stops throughout the garden, where small fairy homes are paired with specific plants, encouraging visitors to observe, identify and record what they find along the way. The journey leads to a concealed Fairy Village nestled within the landscape, rewarding close attention and exploration.
The program blends imaginative play with botanical learning, framing fairies as caretakers of rare plants across the garden. Those who complete the trail receive a commemorative badge, with additional incentives including a collectible pin and entry into a drawing for a family membership.
On select weekends, the Children’s Garden hosts additional fairy-themed activations featuring music, bubbles and interactive elements that expand on the self-guided experience.
