Hundreds of Native Butterflies
Our three signature butterfly tents provide an up close look at hundreds of beautiful, delicate butterflies! Use on of our nectar sticks to hold a butterfly, or wait for one to land on your head. And don’t forget your camera to capture the memories to last a lifetime.
Each tent provides views of the same species of butterflies.
Live Music & Entertainment
Our main stage by the outdoor fireplace will be filled with live entertainment all weekend long! From puppet shows to rocking live bands, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
In the afternoon, we’ll have live music echoing throughout the park, making it the perfect time to attend as an adult, or with older tweens & teens! You’re never to old to experience the butterflies!
Animal Shows
Our friends from Nature’s Echo & Mr. Jim’s Party Animals will be here with a collection of birds of prey, reptiles, insects, and more! You’ll have the chance to meet them up close, pose for a photo op, and learn all about their place in the ecosystem!
Pollinator Pathway
Grab a map and make sure you stop at all of points along the Pollinator Pathway! Learn about different pollinators, make some arts & crafts, and meet representatives from other organizations. Pollinators are important – we hope you learn something new while you’re here!
Food & Drinks
A variety of food, drinks, and desserts will be available for purchase throughout the weekend!
You won’t be able to resist the smell of delicious street tacos from Twin Tacos ATL, sizzling up bites throughout the weekend!
Sweet treats from Laurie’s Bakes, Three Tikis Shaved Ice, and Dip n’ Dots will be available to satisfy any sugar cravings.
For those looking for something to sip on, we will have a selection of beer, wine, soda, and water for purchase. Back this year, our popular Larval Lemonade will be available to cool you down!
And More!
Get your face painted*, experience the magic of the Bubble Man, tie dye a t-shirt*, shop from vendors, and MORE – spend the whole day having fun with us!
*These activities are not included in the cost of your Butterfly Experience tickets.
