Experience hundreds of butterflies in flight as you walk through our native butterfly greenhouse. Almost everyone appreciates the beauty of butterflies, but how much do you really know about them? Did you know that butterflies can’t hear? Like snakes, they sense vibrations through the surfaces they touch. Did you know butterflies are found everywhere but Antarctica; they taste with their feet; and some, like the Monarch, can migrate up to 2,000 miles? Visit us April 19 through October 31, 2014 to experience these delicate beauties in flight.
Want a closer look at these graceful insects? We now offer the chance to feed them! Ask our staff in the butterfly greenhouse for details.
Travel back in time with Dinosaurs Come to Life, a prehistoric outdoor adventure!
