Imagine a curious world where kids can crawl, run, play and discover in an enchanting garden that towers above them and surrounds them with wonderful, vibrant color. This world of floral and whimsical fantasy exists at the Garden, where Big Spring returns for its second year.

Surrounded by the sights and scents of bright, beautiful flowers and the sounds of cozy, familiar spring showers, you’ll be transported into a larger-than-life wonderland of springtime fun, where – rain or shine – choosing what to do first is a kid’s only conundrum:

Dress up like insects at the Toadstool Theatre
Make a toast at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party
Explore the Ladybug Labyrinth
Come "eye to eyes" with critters in the Discovery Log
Dash off to the races with mealworms and Puddle Bug Boats
Join in the daily honeybee parade with Polly at 12:30 (additional parade at 5:30 on Wednesdays)
Enjoy the endless delights of Hershey Children's Garden
And don't miss our beautiful plant society shows, displaying stunning specimens of cacti and succulents, gesneriads and daffodils on select weekends.

This spring, go from housebound to spellbound in one giant step.
