Why Butterflies Alive Is So Special

The sheer amount of free-flying butterflies in the exhibit will be beautiful to behold. From the Science Spectrum:

Butterflies Alive brings the magical experience of a wild butterfly encounter up close and personal, providing you and your family with the thrilling experience of being surrounded by not a single butterfly, but hundreds of butterflies and moths flying freely and closely. Contained within a nearly 3,000 square foot garden enclosure, flowering plants, trees, and ornate decorative features create an inspiring and mesmerizing atmosphere. 

This is going to be the perfect event for families, friend groups, and dates- be ready to get those fantastic photos!

Visitors will also get to peek into the “Pupae Emergence House” and see butterflies and moths emerge from their chrysalises. New butterflies and moths are added weekly, and there is a variety of species to see! Children and adults will also love the butterfly maze!
