Botanical gardens are important destinations for living plant collection, conservation, environmental education and tourism. To enrich the garden experience, many botanical gardens in China developed various Night Hike programs in recent years. However, it hasn't been theoretically assessed for its education processes and outcomes. By employing the means-end theory, 30 Night Hike participants were interviewed at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden in order to explore to what extent the educational function and impact upon personal development were achieved. The results indicated the Night Hike's goals included animals, plants, educators and companions. As participants reported, the consequences of the program were that the program enhanced participants' biological knowledge and provided them a novel experience. Participants believed the program are beneficial to their self-satisfaction, personal development and increasing their conservation awareness. Meanwhile, the factors that significantly affected the effectiveness and educational function of the Night Hike were the educator's role, full usage of the variety of senses, and the chances of viewing numbers of novel plants and animals. Generally, Night Hike in botanical gardens is indeed an effective environmental educational activity for the feature of “education via entertainment”.
