We’re so excited to celebrate the magnificent Monarch Butterflies with you and your family! This year, we’ll be releasing over 800 Monarch Butterflies into the wild—and you’ll get to interact with them first-hand!
The festival is split into three 1.5-hour sessions, each with the same activities. Please arrive on time for your registered session. If you arrive more than 30 minutes late, we cannot guarantee a butterfly will still be available for release.
Registration is by car and includes:
▪️ 1 parking space
▪️ 4 butterflies for release
▪️ Access to all event activities (crafts, games, butterfly house, and more!)
Session Times:
▪️ Session 1: 8:30am – 10:00am
▪️ Session 2: 10:30am – 12:00pm
▪️ Session 3: 12:30pm – 2:00pm
All ages are welcome, but minors must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event. Please note: Dogs are not allowed at the Nature Center. This event is rain or shine. We can't wait to see you there!
