Something has awakened in the Garden — and it is calling your name. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Garden of Shadows returns Friday and Saturday, October 23–24, from 7 to 10:30 p.m.
Follow the Shadow Trail through six haunted encounters across the Garden after dark, show off your costume, and uncover what happened the night the shadows returned. The evening is designed for grown-up Halloween lovers who want their scares with a tropical twist.
Admission starts at $35.95 for adults, and you can upgrade the night with cocktail or mocktail flights, a picnic basket for two, or the Into the Shadows tram tour ($14.95). Premium packages include concert seating, cocktail tables, and private garden lounges.
Parking gates open at 6:30 p.m. through the Lowlands entrance. Costumes encouraged — come ready to be spooked under the palms.
