Butterfly Oasis

Wander along a winding path displaying a water feature and sculptural palm trees all within the 20-foot-high geodesic dome. Be enchanted by a variety of butterfly species, including monarchs, white peacocks, and red admirals. The oasis also includes an eclosion box, where you can observe the butterfly lifecycle and watch as they emerge from their chrysalises.
