NATURE. COMMUNITY. CONNECTION.
Join us for a special day to celebrate you: our Spice Fam Community, and the spirit that makes the Tropical Spice Garden a vibrant community space. This day is our way of saying thank you for your continued support, and here’s a chance for you to invite your friends along to experience the magic of a Spice Fam membership together with you in a fun-filled day.
Enjoy a day packed with activities that will nourish your mind and body, while helping you bond with your family, friends, and community. Whether it’s unwinding with harp therapy, crafting little pottery creations with the kids or getting down and dirty to learn some jungle survival skills - we have something for everyone.
The day’s activities are FREE for those who have had an active membership of 3 months or more.
For newer members or those without a Spice Fam membership, passes for activities can be purchased.
