The Butterfly Bungalow is a summer exhibit open from May 23-Labor Day

Step into a realm of fluttering wings and vibrant colors as you explore the Butterfly Bungalow. Watch butterflies emerge from chrysalides, explore a pollinator paradise, search for hungry caterpillars among the leaves and more! Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to learn about and interact with the butterflies you may find in your own backyard.
