Blooms & Butterflies

02-21-2026 07-05-2026 GENERAL ADMISSION (10am-5pm) IS THE BEST TIME TO VIEW

Experience Blooms & Butterflies in the Pacific Island Water Garden, where exotic butterflies glide through bright nectar flowers. As you wander the garden, you’ll see butterflies feeding, resting, and gliding through the air in an ever-changing display of color and movement. Don’t miss the Metamorphosis Lab, where you can watch butterflies take their very first flight as they emerge from their chrysalises throughout the day.

Additional Offerings

Metamorphosis Lab In addition to seeing butterflies in the Pacific Island Water Garden Biome, visitors can learn more about the butterfly lifecycle at the Metamorphosis Lab in the Grand Atrium. Spot the differences between different chrysalises and watch up close as new butterflies emerge.
