The Trolls Are Back.
Can You Find Them All?

According to Garden legend, six playful trolls have made Fairchild their home,
hiding among the palms, the pools, and the winding paths, waiting for the right family
to track them down.

Mischievous by nature, they are believed to be the true guardians of the Garden,
bringing luck to anyone who finds them.

Mischievous by nature, they are believed to be the true guardians of the Garden,
bringing luck to anyone who finds them. 

Finding them won’t be easy, their hiding spots are nearly invisible, unless you follow the map and look closely at the roots, the leaves, and the shadows.

Follow the tangled paths, search hidden corners, and see if your family can track them all down. Collect a Trollmark from every troll, decode the secret word, and earn your place as a Troll Keeper of Fairchild.

What You’ll Take Home

Trolls in the Garden transforms a visit to Fairchild into a real adventure. Families are invited to explore multiple Garden locations, turning every step into play and every moment into discovery. Available only during July.

A real adventure through
one of Miami’s most
extraordinary gardens.

No phones, no screens,
just the Garden, a map,
and the thrill of the hunt.

An afternoon your kids
will talk about for weeks.

Let them lead the way.
Watch them light up.
