Haunted Birdhouse Hunt

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden turns into a trail of mystery this October with a family-friendly scavenger hunt rooted in Florida folklore.

From October 1 to 31, the Haunted Birdhouse Hunt invites visitors to explore winding garden paths in search of 13 hidden birdhouses, each paired with riddles and stories drawn from the state’s ghostly past. Designed to be fun without frights, the experience encourages curiosity and discovery for kids and adults alike, with a prize awaiting those who complete the hunt.

On weekends, guests can add a creative touch by building and decorating their own birdhouse keepsake during special workshops held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (tickets for this activity are sold separately).
