Get your cameras ready. This Fairchild holiday exhibit will be an Instagram sensation.
Miami, we know you love great Instagram spots. Witness the popularity of the Umbrella Sky Project in Coral Gables and the that’s-so-Miami Cafetera Sky at Brickell’s Latin Cafe.
So you are definitely not going to want to miss The NightGarden at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden this holiday season.
The 23-acre display, which opens Nov. 23, will include entertainment and food options, of course. But the main thing you’re going to want to know about is the spectacular photo ops.
Like this:
We’re not merely talking holiday lights, though. The interactive displays from production team Kilburn Media will include special effects, motion-sensing technology, holograms, sculptures and illuminated mazes.
There will even be talking trees, animated butterflies and a dandelion field that actually grows.
In other words, it’s going to be like that Pandora planet in the movie “Avatar” except without the bad dialogue and plot points swiped from “FernGully: The Last Rainforest.”
Nannette Zapata, chief operating officer at Fairchild, calls it “the perfect synergy of out-of-this-world fantasy and stunning sensations inspired by real life phenomenon.”
Sounds good to us.
