Private Firefly Eco-Tours
The Kellettville Firefly Farm just happens to have ideal habitats for several species of fireflies. The owners now manage the property as a firefly sanctuary. The firefly season is typically June through July if conditions are ideal. While the Firefly Farm is not available during the PA Firefly Festival Campouts (see below for more information), private guided synchronous firefly eco-tours and photography guiding are available for a fee and by appointment on select dates. Firefly Eco-Tours are included for guests of the Firefly Farm during firefly season. Click HERE to reserve your lodging and firefly eco-tour. Seasonal Rates apply and subject to availability and date changes based on firefly emergence and activity.
