Butterfly Releases

Every Tuesday June 6, 13, 20 & 27th, join our educators for a Butterfly Release at 10am in the Butterfly House. The program will begin with a talk on the butterfly life cycle and the different types of butterflies in the house that week and conclude with a butterfly release. Pre-registration is required and tickets typically sell out quickly. Learn more and register.

(In case of rain, we will have an educator in our classroom and guests will still be able to observe butterflies.)
