Come inside to experience a different kind of blizzard – a butterfly blizzard in Reiman Gardens’ Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing! You won’t want to miss this opportunity to release your very own butterfly in this tropical, indoor garden.
Upcoming Dates:
Thursday, April 10th, 7:30am - 9:00am
Thursday, June 12th, 7:30am - 9:00am
Thursday, August 14, 7:30am-9:00am
Participants can arrive anytime between 7:30 to 8:45 AM. The Butterfly Wing opens to the public at 9:00, so you may want to consider arriving by 8:30. Butterflies will not be released when the Butterfly Wing opens to the public at 9am. The accompanying craft station will stay out till 9:30.
Participants will get to choose how many butterflies they release. Each butterfly will be in their own container. Participants will learn a little about each of their butterflies and how to release them. Participants will get a certificate with their names and the species they released on it. A butterfly-related craft will be available that participants can also participate in if they choose to.
