Each week in the Children’s Garden, expert horticulturists feature a kid-friendly gardening activity, like seed planting, watering or harvesting, both to keep our Garden beautiful and connect our youngest guests with nature.

IF YOU’VE YEARNED TO GET CLOSER TO THE ANIMALS, NOW YOU CAN WITH AN ELEPHANT WILD ENCOUNTER!

Drop by the Fuqua Conservatory lobby to watch the frogs jump into action when presented with their meals. An amphibian specialist will share fun facts and answer questions about these captivating creatures. Public frog feedings allow visitors to observe one of the most interesting aspects of these amphibians – their feeding behaviors. Most frogs have long sticky tongues that shoot out at prey. Some, like Poison frogs, are able to do this with such incredible speed and accuracy that all visitors notice are flies disappearing. Others, like the fringed leaf frog, are dramatic feeders that stuff the crickets into their mouths with their hands.

As the sun sets, Oakland Cemetery is transformed. Through innovative lighting and art installations by local artists, interactive experiences, and live music, Illumine 2025 will light up the shadows of the night.
