When you visit, your journey starts with a lively educational presentation about the butterfly life cycle. Then, learn the parts of a butterfly while learning fun facts in a hands-on environment. Next, you’re off to the farm’s incredible Flight House, where you’re surrounded by hundreds of monarch butterflies in a beautifully landscaped, pollinator-friendly environment.
