The 25th annual Butterfly Festival takes place on the 22-acre campus of the nature center and will feature three butterfly tents that enable guests to have a longer, less crowded experience surrounded by hundreds of live butterflies. Also, guests will be entertained throughout the day with games, animal encounters, live music, scavenger hunts and “discovery stations” throughout the park. You can even get your face painted like a butterfly.
