Description
Observe one of nature's most magical summer displays up close! Step into the meadows and forests of Habitat after dark and witness the magic of fireflies while learning what their flashing light really means.
A naturalist will guide you on an evening walk as the light show begins, helping you decode the flashing signals fireflies use to find each other and diving into the science of bioluminescence.
Along the way, learn about their life cycle, the habitats they depend on, and what we can all do to help firefly populations thrive. This magical summer evening will stay with you long after the lights go out.
