Garden Night Walk
Come join us for a leisurely stroll in the Tropical Spice Garden at night where you will have a chance to observe and learn about some of the nocturnal denizens that call the grounds home such as bats, frogs and a variety of invertebrates. If you are lucky enough, you may even get a chance to spot Sunda Flying Lemurs, snakes and civets! This will be a great introduction for those who have never experienced wildlife spotting at night. This is a family-friendly activity.
