Grand Opening June 1 ~ Butterflies are among the 
most beautiful insects in the world.  Our new 
Butterfly House will give our visitors the chance 
to see butterflies “up close and personal.”  You 
will see Monarch and Painted Lady butterflies 
flying about and watch caterpillars go through 
the different stages of a butterfly cycle.  You 
may be there at the moment a butterfly emerges 
from its chrysalis to join other butterflies in 
flight throughout the Butterfly House.  Thanks to 
The Simon Foundation, Crocker Nurseries, YDS 
Landscape, North Bay Construction, Nexus Corp, 
and our volunteers and staff involved in making this possible!

On Mondays through Fridays from June 1st until 
September 2nd guests will be able to feed the 
butterflies by holding a small sponge brush with 
juice on it and watch a butterfly up close as it 
drinks from the sponge!  What a great photo opportunity!

*Feeding times are 10am, 12pm and 2pm.
Butterfly House is Free with Museum Summer 
Admission: Adults ages 13 and up $11; Seniors 65+ 
$8; Children ages 3-12 $6; Ages 2 and under are
