Butterflies! Caterpillar Flight School

Butterflies! Caterpillar Flight School

Visitors experience a spectacular butterfly garden where they are immersed in a lush butterfly habitat surrounded by hundreds of butterflies moving freely throughout the exhibit. Fifteen to 20 species of butterflies delight guests through intimate interaction. These beautiful, colorful creatures are curious, approachable and often rest on visitors as they stroll through the garden. Guests go home with a greater understanding of these fragile, beautiful butterflies, and a deeper appreciation for the importance of maintaining their habitat to ensure their survival.

In September 2005 the Butterflies! exhibit was destroyed by a fallen oak tree. Read about the rebuilding effort here.
