The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
Presents

  2018 Butterfly House & Pollinator Path
Nature’s Unforgettable Experience

BREWSTER, MA ­  The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster announces the 
2018   Butterfly House & Pollinator Path season 
open daily Friday, June 1st through Sunday, September 2, 2018  9:30am – 4pm.

   Butterflies are among the most beautiful 
insects in the world.  Our Butterfly House will 
give visitors the chance to see and experience 
butterflies “up close and personal.”  As you 
approach the Butterfly House you will walk 
through a beautiful Pollinator Path filled with 
blooming plants such as Orange Butterfly Weed 
(providing a place for butterflies to lay their 
eggs), Yarrow, Purple Coneflower and many more 
varieties that attract our pollinators and 
provide them with nectar. Once inside, you will 
see Monarchs and Painted Ladys as well as a 
selection of butterflies native to Cape Cod. 
Also, you will be able to watch caterpillars go 
through the different stages of a butterfly cycle 
and you may even be there at the moment a 
butterfly emerges from its chrysalis to join other butterflies in flight.

Guests will be able to feed a butterfly by 
holding a small sponge brush with juice on it and 
watch the butterfly up close as it drinks from 
the sponge!  What a great nature experience and photo opportunity!

  *FEEDING TIMES:
   MONDAY – FRIDAY: 10am, 12pm and 2pm,
  SATURDAY & SUNDAY: 10am, 11:30am and 1pm.

Butterfly Feeding is a $6.00 fee and Reservations
