🧚 Twenty-plus handcrafted fairy houses tucked through The Ramble at New England Botanic Garden — included with admission, daily through October 25.
Fairy Hollow is an outdoor exhibit in The Ramble at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Boylston, MA, featuring more than 20 handcrafted fairy houses — mushroom cottages, seashell palaces and more — made by artists from New England and beyond. It runs daily August 29 through October 25, 2026, and is included with regular Garden admission.
Fairies Aglow is a separately ticketed after-hours evening event on select Fridays and Saturdays, September 19 through October 23, 2026, 6:00–8:30 PM, when the Fairy Hollow houses are lit up at night with music and family-friendly activities. Tickets must be reserved in advance, and the Garden's other trails are closed during these evenings.
Yes — it's a gentle, all-ages walk through The Ramble with a Fairy Magic scavenger hunt and printable fairy house checklists available on the Garden's website. It's included with general admission, so families can pair it with the rest of the Garden.
Fairy Hollow is on the GOkidOZ Event Calendar. Boylston is about an hour from Boston — pair it with more fun events or browse fall family activities.
