Butterflies LIVE! is an exhibit you do not want to miss!  Visitors have the opportunity to get up close and personal with these amazing creatures – watch them fly, feed and flutter all around.  Kids and parents alike, can not get enough of walking among these beautiful beings.

The exhibit is geared toward children of all ages.  The only caveat?  Do not touch or disturb the butterflies in any way.  They may land on the floor along the walking path or even on your person.  If that happens, get help from a staff member or volunteer immediately.

Check out the Butterfly Nursery:  Examine the butterfly nursery with chrysalides featuring two species of butterflies each week. Examine the chrysalides up close, and if you are lucky you may even get to watch a butterfly emerge.   Butterfly Release Times: Daily at 10 a.m. and Saturdays at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.  More info here.
