To make your I Spy Butterflies experience smooth and enjoyable, keep these tips in mind:

Stroller-Free Zone

Strollers are not permitted inside the exhibit, but stroller parking is available nearby. Wheelchairs are welcome! 

No Food or Drinks Inside

Don’t worry, delicious options are just outside the exhibit. 

Pack Light

Keep personal items with you; storage is not available inside the Butterfly House.  

Look but Don’t Touch

For the safety of the butterflies and plants, please stay on pathways and admire with your eyes, not your hands. 

Children Under 12 Must Be Accompanied

All young adventurers must always be accompanied by an adult (18+). 

Let the Magic Come to You

Butterflies may land on you — stay still and enjoy the moment.
