Come explore the world of the butterfly!
Visit EdVenture's living exhibit, a 2,500 square foot enclosed habitat designed to showcase the lifespan of over 20 species of butterflies. The exhibit is filled with dozens of species of trees and plants that support hundreds of butterflies from more than 20 different species native to the Southeast. Be sure to check out the Bloom Room to observe chrysalises and emerging butterflies. Look, but please don't touch! Although it is tempting to touch these beautiful creatures, one gentle tap of the finger can damage their delicate wings. The species of butterflies in Blooming Butterflies are always different, so keep your eyes open for something new each time you visit!
