Fairchild is crawling with excitement—literally! This summer, Bugging Out at Fairchild is bigger and buggier than ever with towering robotic insects, a brand-new walk-through butterfly pavilion, and live encounters with some of the coolest creatures in the insect kingdom.
Get close to some of Martin’s live insects in Wings of the Tropics and learn more about their fascinating world at our specimen display station presented by Fairchild Garden’s staff and volunteers.
It’s bold. It’s buggy. And it’s only here for a limited time.
