Open during summer months
Step into a realm of natural beauty and prepare to be surrounded by a kaleidoscope of butterflies at the Butterfly Haven! Nestled next to the Virginia Garden and just outside the Wason Education Center, the Butterfly Haven is an immersive experience for all ages.
Within the exhibit, there’s more than just the beauty of these pollinators to behold. The Butterfly Haven also supports vital conservation efforts! By preserving pollinating species like the Monarch Butterfly, we’re contributing to the protection of our delicate ecosystem. We’re also helping raise awareness about the challenges that Monarchs face, including habitat loss due to deforestation in Mexico, extreme climate fluctuations in North America, and the growth of herbicide-based agriculture.
