Butterfly Oasis


Step into Butterfly Oasis and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and the flutter of butterflies all around! Stroll along a winding path featuring a sparkling water feature and sculptural palm trees beneath the 20-foot-high geodesic dome. Encounter a variety of butterfly species, from graceful monarchs to striking white peacocks and vibrant red admirals. Don’t miss the eclosion box, where you can watch butterflies emerge from their chrysalises and witness the magic of their lifecycle up close.

This habitat closes for the winter season on October 13.
