FAQs
Not yet. When we have a larger space and the proper set-up to park strollers before entry to the butterfly house, we will be able to have strollers. At this time, our limited space and USDA requirements restrict our ability to have strollers in the building.
We will be able to stay open throughout construction. While the new aquarium portion is being built, the Butterfly House will be open while the aquarium exhibits are not available for viewing.
Try to arrive 5 minutes before the start of your tour.
