Join us for Nocturnal Neighbors, a special after-hours experience exploring the Conservation Garden in search of some of the frogs, insects, and other wildlife that become active at night. The evening begins with a short introduction to our nocturnal neighbors while our exploration gear is set up. Then, we’ll head into the Conservation Garden to look and listen for wildlife, investigate what’s visiting our blacklights, and learn more about the creatures we encounter along the way. Professional partners from William & Mary, including Dr. Kristin Dunn, will join Virginia Living Museum Ectotherms staff and volunteers to help identify what we discover, share their expertise, and answer questions throughout the evening. 2026 Dates & Times October 13 | 7:00–9:00 p.m. Rain Date: October 15 Purchase Tickets Start times change throughout the season to follow sunset and give us the best opportunity to explore after dark.
