2023 Butterfly House & Pollinator Path ~ Nature's Unforgettable Experience

2023 Butterfly House & Pollinator Path ~ Nature's Unforgettable Experience

Presented by Cape Cod Museum of Natural History at Cape Cod Museum of Natural History

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.  Butterflies, as well as other pollinators, are not only fun to watch, but they serve a critical purpose pollinating over 75% of the world’s flowering plants.

As you approach the Butterfly House you will walk through the Pollinator Path filled with multi-colored 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 be able to watch caterpillars go through the different stages of their life cycle and you may even be there when a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis to join the others in flight!

We are grateful to The Simon Foundation, Crocker Nurseries, and our volunteers and staff involved in making this possible.
