Summer is coming to an end and butterflies are abundant. Search high and low for fluttery butterflies that rise and glide on the breeze. Learn what makes each unique and beautiful. Spend time in the butterfly garden looking for young caterpillars, taste a butterfly snack and nature willing, take home your own caterpillar to raise and release. (Raindate: August 23)

Learn all about these magical creatures through hands on activities. Visit the butterfly tent, tag & release a live monarch, crafts and an up close look at monarchs through a microscope.
