Join us and other nature lovers as we release real live butterflies into the habitat and learn more about our flying friends. The butterflies come in a sleepy state and the warmth of your hand will help wake them up before they take flight!

Butterfly Release 9:30am
Here are the need-to-knows:
- Timing: Be sure to arrive at the park early enough so you can park and walk from the main visitor’s parking lot and reach the Butterfly Habitat before your release time. We recommend arriving at the parking lot 20-30 minutes before your ticket time to allow you to make your way there.
- Location: The Butterfly Habitat is located in the valley along the trail and can be reached via the Greenway Trail, the Bluehole Trail, or the Ridgetop Trail. Each route is about 1/3 of a mile +/- one way, and all include uneven, gravel terrain. See map below or stop inside the gift shop for directions.
- Attire: Dress for hot conditions and wear sunscreen. You’ll be in full sun inside the Habitat. We also encourage you to wear bright colors as they may attract the butterflies to land on you. Consider whether or not you want to wear bug spray. It will repel the butterflies.
- Rain: Butterflies can’t fly in the rain. If it’s raining at the time of your release, we may have to postpone or cancel the release. We will communicate with you by email as far in advance of any postponement or cancellation as possible to keep you up-to-date.
Tickets are $10 and are required to attend. If you are a Park Member at the $120 level or higher or a 72 Society Member, reach out to Katie to register for your four complementary tickets. 🦋
