Thousands of brilliantly colored butterflies from around the world, emerging, feeding and flying in the tropical warmth of our Conservatory.

Each spring, thousands of tropical butterflies fill the Conservatory. Watch new butterflies emerge from their chrysalises, then follow them as they feed on blooms and drift through the warm, green air.
