Whispering Wings Butterfly Experience
This seasonal exhibit features a lush garden filled with tropical
plants where hundreds of butterflies soar through the air. Monarch,
Zebra Longwing, Swallowtail, Julia, Buckeye, Queen, Painted Lady, and
American Lady are just a few of the species that call Whispering Wings

exhibit is open daily. Tickets are $3 - adults and $2 - children in
addition to garden admission for a 30-minute timed visit.

Enchanted Storybook Forest
Mid-May through October
Younger guests enter the magical world of the Enchanted Storybook Forest, a collection of storybook playhouses created by local builders, architects and organizations. Each house is based on a classic children’s story or nursery rhyme and will encourage reading and interaction with the natural world. Special programs, classes, and activities will occur throughout the season and include storytelling under the trees, book sharing, arts and crafts and lessons on nature. The exhibit is free with garden admission. Please check back soon for more information.
