Butterfly Vivarium
The Butterfly Vivarium is a 1,200 sq. ft. x 14 ft. high structure, with ponds, flowers, and plants. It houses monarchs and other native butterfly species in all stages of life. It is a model ecosystem for butterflies and serves as an educational environment. Thousands of students visit the vivarium every year to learn more about plant and animal relationships using the monarch as an educational model.
Visitors to our butterfly house have a number of opportunities: photography, video taping, learn about favorite flowers and host plants for butterflies, search for butterfly eggs, touch caterpillars, watch butterflies emerge from their pupae, feed fruit to adult butterflies, view mating behavior, have questions answered by experts, and to simply enjoy the beauty of a commonly admired insect throughout the world.
