Butterfly Experience & Release
This one-of-a-kind attraction allows both children and adults an opportunity to learn about, view, and interact with Monarch Butterflies in a way most people have never had the chance to before.
Monarch butterflies are iconic, the most recognized, and most friendly butterflies. They need assistance with repopulation and the butterfly release allows these butterflies to repopulate the areas they are released in.
They are majestic and friendly spirit animals. Many people have related stories of how the Monarchs they released hovered and stayed close to them as if to say I’m with you before they fluttered off.
