During the exhibit, approximately 10,000, exotic butterflies will be released in the conservatory.
Butterflies in the Garden
People have a chance to walk among the fluttering butterflies of many sizes and striking colors -- maybe even watch a beautiful butterfly land on their own finger!
Watch the butterflies eat from fruit trays located throughout the lush garden exhibit and learn more about each butterfly species and their life cycles from knowledgeable exhibit volunteers inside the garden area.
