Snow in the Tropics at The Butterfly House

Event Date: 
Sun, 12/18/2011

The Paper Kite, one of the most delightful butterflies at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House, conjures visions of gently floating snowflakes amidst the greenery of the indoor tropical conservatory. All month long, the number of Paper Kites in free-flight will snowball from the usual 200 to well over 1,000! Enjoy the flurry of these large butterflies as you stroll through the 85-degree conservatory, resplendent with the addition of dozens of white orchids. It’s the perfect spot for a holiday photo opp. Children can also enjoy butterfly- and winter-themed crafts on select Saturdays. 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All ages. Included with Butterfly House admission. The Butterfly House.
