Amazing Butterflies - thru April 23

Shrink down to the size of a butterfly, and take flight on a fun adventure this winter at Amazing Butterflies. Discover a surprise around each corner as you navigate an engaging maze-like exhibition that’s all about butterflies, caterpillars, and their environments. Kids and parents alike can climb in pupa pods, crawl like a caterpillar through a monarch tunnel, soar down the butterfly zip line, and fend off a hairy plant attack as blades of grass tower above. Amazing Butterflies combines the fun of a playground, the excitement of interactive learning, and engaging activities to create a unique, family-friendly experience that opens just in time to brighten 2017’s coldest months.


Amazing Butterflies features exciting exhibits like a butterfly zip line, a climbable spider web, and a giant caterpillar entry tunnel. Parents and children can play games to learn about nectar, lifecycles, and mating, and they can even climb into their own pupa pods as they make their way through the maze. Find out more
