The exhibit is held in a hoop house structure, adjacent to our greenhouse, so that visitors and butterflies can feel as if they are outdoors. When you enter the exhibit, in addition to colorful and fragrant flowering plants, you’ll be greeted by New York native butterflies. Flying freely among the greenery, you’ll see Monarchs, Painted Ladies and Swallowtails fluttering from blossom to blossom in search of nourishing nectar, or catch sight of them resting in a shady spot to cool off or see them sipping water from a puddle. While enjoying the beauty of these delicate creatures, you’ll have an opportunity to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly from egg, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly – and about the unique relationship between specific plants and butterflies. The exhibit is appropriate for all ages. FREE with Museum admission.
