It might be too late to plan your tropical getaway this summer, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a real rainforest experience! Skip the long airport lines, hassle of travel and instead take a daytime escape to Butterfly Wonderland this weekend! Come inside and cool off in our air-conditioned state-of-the-art theatre to take in the 3D short film “Flight of the Butterflies,” which follows the amazing Monarch through its long migration journey. Next, witness the miracle of transformation in real time in our Emergence Gallery. View the beautiful chrysalises, and watch butterflies and moths unfold into the world in real time! Next, enter our 25,000-square-foot Conservatory where the rainforest comes to life with real foliage, fish and 3,000 friendly colorful butterflies flittering around. Afterwards, take a time-out for snacks and refreshments in the Butterfly Café before entering the Spineless Giants room and Rivers of the Amazon, where you can meet our friendly rays in the touch tank. Finally, peruse our Butterfly Treasures Gift Shop for the perfect souvenir to commemorate your visit! Don’t forget, there is free face painting for the kids every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We hope to see you soon!
