Butterfly House

The Butterfly House is a tropical conservatory where hundreds of free-flying butterflies from around the world surround visitors in a lush garden environment. The exhibit showcases butterfly life cycles, pollination ecology, and the critical role insects play in maintaining healthy ecosystems.

Insect populations are declining worldwide at alarming rates, with some studies suggesting declines of 40% or more over the past few decades. Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change threaten butterflies, bees, and other pollinators that are essential for food production and ecosystem health.
