VISIT THE BLOOMING BUTTERFLIES AT OLBRICH BOTANICAL GARDEN

(Madison, WI): A summer favorite is back. Blooming Butterflies at Olbrich Botanical Garden features up to 19 different species of free flying butterflies in the tropical Bolz Conservatory. 

About

Visitors can make connections with these fluttering friends while learning about the butterfly life cycle. Two chrysalis cases provide opportunities to possibly witness a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis!

During Blooming Butterflies, the outdoor gardens spotlight relationships between plants and pollinators with an ‘I SPY’ Pollinators scavenger hunt. A pollinator themed children’s book is displayed as a StoryWalk along Starkweather Creek. And every child that attends Blooming Butterflies receives a coupon for a free junior scoop from our friends at Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream!

The life span of different butterflies varies from a few weeks to a few months. All flying butterflies live out their natural lives in the Conservatory, with food sources remaining for them after the exhibit dates.
