Here's how "Flashlight Nights" at the Desert Botanical Garden are keeping things 'cool' when the sun goes down! Desert Botanical Garden ‘Flashlight Nights’ at the Desert Botanical Garden. “[It’s] just a really cool adventure on our trails, you get to go out, explore in the dark and see things that you don't get to see during the day.

We bring out different animals, critters. We partner with a few organizations to bring out owls, some lizards and reptiles. We even have black lights for kids and adults to go look for scorpions in the desert," said Andrew Cipriano, senior director of education at DBG, to ABC15.

" It's really just a chance to get out and explore and see things that you don't get to see out here during the day,” And if you think that these activities are just for the kiddos, think again.

I mean, we have tons of kids who come out and love it. But we see a lot of people on dates too. And a lot of older people who just want to come out and have a good time and find something different, something unique to do on the weekend.

So right now, honestly, we have quite a few folks out on dates, who are here in the garden, without children. So, it really is an all-age activity,” said Cipriano. Desert Botanical Garden Up cl.
