Not only that, across the number of exhibits you might find yourselves face to face with a lot more than just the butterfly. Are you intrigued?

From finger-length zebra longwings to hand-sized paper kites, the Butterfly Pavilion have more than 50 different species at any given time.  The Wings of the Tropics exhibit allows the family to walk among free-flying butterflies in a tropical paradise.
