Grow real butterflies!

The Butterfly Pavilion features ten Painted Lady butterflies soaring to new heights in an attractive, mesh enclosure, where you can watch your caterpillars turn into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies.

Nature's on the wing. See what develops. Witness the miracle of metamorphosis, nature's way of saying, "Hey, grow up!" First, watch your caterpillars eat their special food. You'll be amazed at how fast they grow. Next, see them hang upside down and shed their skins to form chrysalides (CHRYS-A-LIDS). Finally, discover how they complete their metamorphosis by emerging as beautiful adult butterflies.
