Join us for a nighttime adventure at Armentrout Preserve! Our journey will start with a short introduction to learn about these enchanting creatures before taking a walk through the meadow to catch a glimpse of their mesmerizing bioluminescence. Walking distance is approximately 0.25 miles on flat grassy areas and a natural trail. There are several benches that can be used for viewing as well.
Flashlights (and phone screens) disrupt the fireflies and impair people's night vision. The light show is best when you:
- Cover your flashlight with red cellophane or use a flashlight with a red light filter
- Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness and use your flashlight only if necessary
- Use your flashlight only when walking
- Point your flashlight at the ground
- Keep your phone screen off
- Red cellophane will be available if you need it
We are happy to offer our programs at no cost to participants, but if you are able, a $10 suggested donation would be greatly appreciated. Wissahickon Trails is a local, community-supported nonprofit. Our budget depends entirely on the generosity of our supporters—individuals, foundations, and corporations. Donate online today.
