Butterfly Habitat Family Workshop

About This Event

April 18th

2:00-3:30pm

Join us for a hands-on children’s workshop celebrating one of nature’s most important pollinators! Participants will learn about the vital role pollinators play in our ecosystem and explore the fascinating lifecycle of a butterfly. Each child will adopt a painted lady caterpillar and create a special habitat for it to grow and thrive.

Take the magic home with you—watch your caterpillar transform through metamorphosis and, when the time is right, release your painted lady butterfly into nature to continue its incredible journey.

Fun, educational, and interactive, this workshop brings kids closer to nature while fostering curiosity and wonder about the tiny creatures that help our world bloom.

*This workshop is intended for children ages 4-10 years old. Children must be accompanied by one adult guardian. Due to restricted space, please limit registration to only one adult per child. 

*Adult guardians wishing to make their own Butterfly Habitat must purchase a ticket in addition to their child’s ticket.

*Adults who are simply accompanying their child should select the “Adult Guardian Only” ticket.
