Boyce Thompson Arboretum: Glass in Flight at Night

When the sun goes down, the wings light up.

Experience Glass in Flight like never before—under the stars and aglow with color.
For a limited number of evenings, the Arboretum will stay open late to unveil Glass in Flight at Night, an illuminated twist on our dazzling outdoor sculpture exhibit.
With strategic lighting and nightfall as the backdrop, these larger-than-life glass insects take on a whole new dimension—radiant, surreal, and unforgettable.

Watch butterflies shimmer, dragonflies pulse with color, and beetles gleam like jewels in the dark.
Perfect for date nights, photographers, nature lovers, and families looking for a truly magical evening.
Bring your camera—this is Instagram gold.

Only on select nights. See these radiant works of art shimmer, glow, and transform—after dark. Last admission at 7pm. Not all trails are open for evening hours.
