About this Event

Tickets are $2/person. Pre-registration is required. Walk-ins cannot be accommodated.

Enjoy the Preserve after dark for an opportunity to spot fireflies and learn more about these fascinating nighttime insects and the wetlands they call home.

Did you know Utah is home to firefly populations? These glowing beetles are most often found in wet habitats and begin flashing after dusk during late spring and early summer.

Hear from Christy Bills from the Natural History Museum of Utah to learn about the surprising world of Utah’s fireflies and the ongoing Western Firefly Project.

Please note that firefly sightings are not guaranteed.
