The Butterfly Garden is a magical experience where guests of all ages, backgrounds and abilities can experience the wondrous world of “flying flowers.” Stroll among hundreds of free-flying butterflies inside an enclosed space, all while surrounded by a display of beautiful flowers. Learn about the life cycle of these colorful, winged insects while watching larvae undergo a miraculous metamorphosis as they emerge as butterflies. Behind the Butterfly Garden, the year-round Microsoft Pollinator Patio abounds with pollinator-friendly plants. Be inspired to help pollinators such as butterflies, hummingbirds, beetles and bees.
