Fireflies of July

REGISTER HERE

Experience nature’s very own light show! This program is perfect for families with kids 9 and up—who can handle a little nighttime walking, participate in games and activities, and safely use nets to observe fireflies up close. Bring your flashlight and sense of wonder as we explore the magic, mystery, and surprises of bioluminescent insects. Enjoy cookies, play an insect-inspired game of flashlight tag, and see if you can spot or catch a few fireflies before releasing them back into the night. A sparkling mid-summer adventure the whole family will love!
