Name: Family Moth Night at White Deer Park
Start: 2026-09-18T23:30:00.000Z

Family Moth Night at White Deer Park is an evening nature program in Garner where participants observe and identify local nocturnal insects. Park staff set up blacklights and sugar bait stations along the trails to attract different moth species for close-up viewing. This outdoor activity is best suited for school-aged children who can stay up past their usual bedtime. The program is entirely free, and parking is available in the main lot next to the nature center. Since you will be standing in wooded areas after dark, bring a flashlight, wear closed-toe shoes, and apply bug spray before you arrive. It is a smart addition to your weekend plans because it offers a structured, hands-on science activity without the pressure of a fee or registration. Your kids get to experience the park in a completely different way than they do during daytime playground visits.
